go to a web based SDR.

http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/

find a station calling CQ on the radio (easy on a competition weekend)

find it on the SDR

answer the station and watch to see how far off my signal reaches the SDR.

adjust until the two waterfall lines coincide perfectly.

sneaky or what?
