Bill The root cause (which you are addressing in this instance) is a lack of elmer-ing/mentor-ing.
Our hobby is blessed with many who know a lot, and are willing to share without making the less-knowledgeable feel inferior. I've been a ham for 34 years, and I am learning lots of new stuff every week. I promised my Elmer (W4ZM, SK) that I would always help those who asked for it, and never denigrate or ridicule any question. I also promised my Elmer that I would never be afraid to ask questions and look for ways to learn more. The topic of zero-beat is just one of the important aspects of CW that can be shared for better operating habits on 160. Thanks for making the effort, sign me up as a willing assistant.
