I started using the technique suggested in an earlier email .. 
matching audio tones between USB and LSB.

It occurred to me there's a simpler method.  

1. Set the radio to WWV (10, 15, 20 -- the higher the better), and 
put the dial exactly on frequency.  Press LCK, so you won't bump it 
later.

2. Set mode to either UCW or LCW, and narrow the bandwidth to 
zip to eliminate the stuff you don't need to hear.

3. Press and hold SPOT, and just adjust the 45Mhz TCXO to zero 
beat the WWV carrier with the spot signal.

The zero beat point is easy to hear, and finding it requires no 
gymnastics :-)
