I always varied the transmit. This way the person I'm talking to as well as any other listeners are all on the same freq listening.
Growing up on the birds when you had to twist the BIG knob to keep everyone on freq is not not a big deal. And to this day i still don't know why it seems to be a problem now days. It all just takes practice. just like in field day coming up our club tries to get the non HF users to come out and try it. and at times it's incredibly painful to watch the guy that operates "Channelized" radios. IE: 2 meter FM How it will take them minutes to finally be within 500Hz of being on freq of a ssb signal. And even then most of the time they will be calling someone when it's obvious they are no where near on freq. then it's twiddling the big knob again going right past on freq spot and again try again off freq. Where a seasoned operator will tune them in in 1/2 a sec coming in from one side and stop dead on freq. it all just takes time on the air. simple.
