my contacts were far (really far!) from zero beat.

This is a problem for me as well. Like most of us, local noise has been encroaching -- three of my four Beverages are pointed to noise sources -- so I keep the K4 screwed down to 20 Hz bandwidth. I'm running legal limit to a 100 ft Tee with a lot of radials. If you don't hear me loud, you'd better call me within a few hundred Hz.

I do a lot of S&P, and I carefully set my own XIT. I do NOT want to be randomized.
