I noticed that about 80% (maybe even more) of my callers called me 50
to 250 cycles higher than my signal. It got to the point, that during
a CQ, I would always set my RIT to 100 cycles above my calling
frequency to be ready for them.
I thought it was something wrong with the design of my two MkVs. Or
maybe it was the way I had the pitch control set up.
