We have an informal net every night on 3815 kHz. No net control, no name, no specific topic, just a bunch of guy who get together every night. Anyone can join in, but, anyone who breaks in who is more than about 20 Hz off 3815 is politely asked to readjust their VFO. Most everyone is +- 10 Hz or better. I like to be among the "or better" group!

Keeping it on would fix the problem...but I'm sure it would eventually take
its  toll on component life.  I ran across a Peltier device while I was
researching this, and very briefly considered pursuing that, but it was a
bit to sophisticated and costly, but a good idea anyway!

Easy  enough to retune to the other station's frequency if they are off 20
Hz, but during a net it's kind of a drag tuning up and down all the time :-]

I always tune them in by ear and don't even look at the dial.. as long as
we are all on the same freq it don't matter..:)
