For me, it's not good enough, but I take what I can get, given my
self-imposed limitation of one tower. Barefoot, I can get within 3-5
Khz of a second harmonic. High power, it's about 15 KHz give or take a
little, depending on band.
One thing I always keep in mind when establishing a run frequency is
will the second harmonic impede me significantly on that band. For
example, when in a RTTY contest, CQing on 7040 is a problem when 20m is
open, 14080 being the center of the RTTY band.
