By convention, for all of the other modes in WSJT-X the frequency of a 
transmission is described as that of the lowest tone.  In JT9 and 
especially JT65, where the lowest tone is the sync tone, this makes a 
lot of sense.  Also for JT4, in part because of the way that mode is 
used for microwave EME.  Wide tone spacings are often used, and QSOs 
often start with single-tone CW transmissions at the frequency of the 
lowest tone, for frequency-alignment purposes.

The case for WSPR is rather different, though.  The four tones are 
closely spaced and have equal weighting.  It doesn't make much sense to 
use one convention for the frequency of received signals (the center of 
the four tones) and another convention for the transmitted signal (that 
of the lowest tone).  It seems that I should move the transmitted tones 
lower by 1.5*12000/8192 = 2.197 Hz.  I will do so.
