Pete, no doubt it's easy enough for the calling operator to implement
the tweak on the fly. But, the benefit for having it occur
automatically would be to the CQing station who would be less likely to
have multiple stations calling him all at once, zero-beat his frequency.
Operators who omit the "tweak" step cause the problem for the CQer and
an automatic random offset would be step toward eliminating such skimmer
pileups.
