In the Army they taught us to turn on the spot signal and tune the spot against
the received signal.  When you hear the warbling stop, you are zero beat on the
RX signal.

That's easy if you are trying to tune against a continuous carrier, but you are normally tuning against a signal that is being 100% amplitude modulated at about 10 to 30 baud (12 to 36 wpm). It gets quite difficult to separate the amplitude modulation from the keying from that from the beating.
