[SCCC] separating zero beated pileups?

[Marty Woll]

Hi, Drew.

One thing that may help some is to use a low T/R offset so that you are
listening at, say, 300 Hz or below.  That way, minor differences in
frequency are larger as a percentage than they are at, say, 1000 Hz.  It's
much easier to distinguish between 200 Hz and 220 Hz than it is to
distinguish between 1200 and 1220 Hz.

Being on the receiving end of this, seems like a lot of folks tx zero
beated.  A solid 5 seconds of zero beated cw is hard to pull out a
letter at times.  I was wondering if there are any good tips or tricks
stations?  Do I just learn to hear the subtle amplitude variations?
The vast majority of the time wasn't a problem at all, but this
happened enough for this CW beginner to have to ask.

Best regards,
