If you are using a narrow bandwidth - 250 Hz or so - you will be right on 
top of the other station anyway. If you are, then NET/AFC will only correct 
a few Hz. IMO, this is not enough advantage to overcome AFSK's well known 
disadvantages regarding drive level. Almost every contest I hear the results 
of overdrive. Yes, I know it can be done properly, but there is always 
someone who doesn't. It's an annoyance we can do without.

To each his own.
