Excellent idea, this would clear up the confusion.
I think we could allow ourselves 10Hz spacing, otherwise we look like 
participants at the Mad Hatter's tea party. 
Also I have a problem maintaining the required degree of accuracy 
(even with Alans crystals)  in an outside shack whose temperature 
ranges from below freezing to 18 degrees C.

I will make my frequency 71.79kHz if that is OK with everyone else. 
The bottom of the band could then be used for normal CW to be the 
furthest distance (frequency) away from the Growler.

In the meantime, anyone who wants a 73kHz cross-band sked, to any 
other band, please e-mail me.
