Hi Bill and the group.

Using Spectran with IK3NWX's beacon as a reference, I put my MEPT 1750 hz below NWX's.  Assuming he is still on 10141800, that would put me at 10140050.....

I used to use IK3NWX as a reference marker for receiving QRSS a couple of years ago but was informed by someone on this group that it does drift very slightly from time to time depending on the ambient temperature. This may since have been corrected but I would not use it as a TX  reference without double checking first.

To be fair the "drift" is of no importance within the average CW filter BW but as a reference marker for QRSS TX it might not be quite good enough. I find its still ok as a "guide" for setting a SW receiver to monitor the QRSS sub band.

Best wishes and good luck with the qrss experiments.
