Well, yes, but using split or fake-it you could be 100KHz off and still be 
transmitting a perfect signal.

Didn't take long to get a 40M FT8 QSO at 3KHz this afternoon when the band was 
essentially dead.

It all depends on the _other_ guys receive capabiltiies, and that's not 
something we can control.
