Hi Brad,
The easiest : tune to WW-V on 10 MHz and 15MHz. You should have a sharp carrier and will be able to notice your VFO error on two points.
If you are not able to receive WW-V or WW-H, there is other reference signal other the world in Russia for example.
Broadcast signals can also be used but their accuracy is worst. Ok in many cases but perhaps not precise enough for QRSS.
Here some tips :
(for WSPR but Ok for Argo)
(for PowerSDR)
73,
Yan.

Update: To clarify, I need to "calibrate" ARGO in order to understand where my signal is being transmitted. Any pointers will be appreciated! 73 Brad

...my version of the QRSS board for 30M. Nice quick build and after a little bit of fiddling with the gimmick capacitor I have a nice 5Hz shift as seen in Argo while transmitting through a dummy load.
Using an IC-7600 through an EDZ for my monitoring setup as I set my final frequency I can actually see my signal (success!) Having only a few minutes of experience with Argo, I am wondering where I want to my signal to show in order to be in that 10.140.00 through 10.140.10 window? Assume I tune my RX rig to 10.140.00 USB.
I do not have a frequency counter handy, so I need to set my final frequency using my rig. I am pretty sure I can get the signal right in there, just having brain problems and will appreciate any pointers on using a rig to adjust my final frequency.
