Good practice would have you do just that.  The compensation is needed 
because each operator in a QSO, if separated by a large geographic 
distance, will have a Doppler shift different than your's.  If you engage 
in a multi-operator QSO on the linear birds, this technique is always 
required to keep the "group" together.  Most seasoned operators make this 
adjustment within the first few syllables, once the microphone is passed to 
them.
