I certainly got everyone riled up with this one, didn't I?
Just to be clear, these guys were not giving me grief but I still don't like
being the guy who is off frequency all the time even though I often run old,
old gear. The Corsair (I) is not a candidate as a National Bureau of Standards
reference.
I can't help but view this thread with a bit of humor, and dare I say,
irony.
Got my Novice ticket in 1959 and remember that with the first 3 or 4
receivers I had, I was lucky to be within 50 kHz. Even when I got the
Drake 4B line (wonderful radios!) in 1969, they were calibrated to 1 kHz.
So pardon me for smiling when I see people quibbling about 30 cycles.
My, how times change! :-)
