I am wondering what restrictions are placed on frequency accuracy?
Would simple QRP rigs like the Sierra or maybe a modified K1 be
suitable for operation on the 60 meter band? We are probably talking
about less that 200 Hz. deviation from the specified center frequency.
Also, I don't think that the FCC engineers have randomly monitored any
ham frequencies for at least two decades. We are now "self policing".
