Bret, I am a little puzzled by your complaint. When you refer to "wrong-frequency spots" are you referring to spots that vary by 0.1-0.2 KHz, or to imagesequidistant from the center frequency of a gi

Bret, send me your data in a form I can look at, and we can have a useful discussion. I can imagine several scenarios for what you describe - harmonics, dueling CQs, keyclicks, and so on. I'd love to
There are two explanations for reported frequency variations unless they are reported at EXACTLY the same moment in time--rx error or tx change. Many run stations, myself included, if that less than
It also needs to be kept in mind that with rounding taking place at the sending Skimmer's Telnet server, an actual calibration difference of only a couple of Hz can lead to spots being 0.1 KHz apart.

Here is most of an e-mail I sent to Bret this morning. I took it off the reflector because I thought at the time that it was too long and complicated for this audience, but on second thought figured

Bret, without data and specific numbers this is all just arm-waving. If you'd like to take a typical non-contest day (you can download each day's data from the Internet), and flag the busted frequenc
