[TOEC] [CCF] SAC CW 2012 RESULTS PUBLISHED

I guess most of us take a look at the frequency dial of the transmitter?
But as you say, your rule 3 applies. :)

So, nobody knows his/her accurate transmitter frequency and nobody can
report what frequency we thougt we were using with better resolution than
1 kHz through the log?

If I'm 499 Hz off without knowing it (log will say I was spot on), I cant do
anything about it. I just get a penalty afterwards....

still.
