[TOEC] SAC CW 2012 RESULTS PUBLIHED

[Jari Perkiömäki]

Hello Mikael, it's a known feature for some skimmers that their  
frequency accuracy is fluctuating when they go up to higher  
frequencies. The accuracy is typically much  better on the low  
frequencies such as on 3.5 MHz which was the topic of this discussion.  
Therefore, you should choose examples of deviation from 3.5 MHz in  
order to compare apples to apples.

>> Hi!
>>
>> Again, generally speaking, it is not about what your frequency dial  
>> is tuned in on. It is about what frequency comes out from your radio,
>> WW2 radio or not! Not even a normal finnish class 1 beer is always  
>> 5.5% even if you would lie to think so.
>>
>> So before going "all in" blaming the operator, look at the attached  
>> picture from RBN.
>>
>>
>> Now, tell me:
>>
>> -What is the frequency of KH6QR within 100 Hz (to be able to judge 200 Hz)?
>>
>> -Did he think that he was on 21.032.00?
>>
>> -Should KH6QR operator shape up and get rid of the piece of junk  
>> for equipment?
>>
>> -Is an RBN that is spreading 400 Hz a sufficiently good tool for  
>> this kind of judgement?
>>
>> One can definately expect that the HAM-rigs out there spread in a  
>> similar way!
>>
>> So Göran, the answer is:
>> -No, the majority of the operators do not know if they are within  
>> 200 Hz on what the send out in the skies.
