I just started transmitting with my Ultimate 3 yesterday afternoon. Therefore forgive me my question, it is just to clarify something.
I was transmitting on exactly 7040.120 kHz with high accuracy. But the reports that I later received on WPRSnet all differed in indicated frequency by up to 40 Hz. See an example:

Does this happen because a lot of the receivers are not tuned down to the last Hz to the proper receiving frequency so that the WSPR receiving software calcultaes slightly wrong receiving frequncies based on the pitch of the received tone frequncies assuming that the virtual carrier frequncy is exactly 1500Hz lower?
