Maybe I am missing the point. While you may be off by 12Hz, not sure if I would feel that I want to participate in this Net if you are called out for that.
When I was brought into 6 meters I was told this was the Gentlemen's band. Most all the nets I participate in are within 100Hz at best. Also, I do recall when a current big manufacturer did not set there Bias correctly and we (somewhat) lived with it. I still recall on 6 meters contesting when you ran across a buddy that you had not talked to in years, you took the time to chat with him to see how he was. I hope that still exists!
