In last weekends WPX contest a US station was consistently operating on 14.150.50. Is this considered in-band or out-of-band? Doug Free Climbing - The ultimate test of strength and technique. -- This
USB, probably not out of band. But that depends on how good their radio is at suppressing the opposite sideband. If it was LSB, definitely out of band. 73 Ria, N2RJ __________________________________
Technically I would say IN BAND. being USB all his RF should have been above that frequency. Joe WB9SBD Doug Free Climbing - The ultimate test of strength and technique. _____________________________
In band if they are an Extra class and using USB since the dial usually shows carrier frequency. Out of band if they hold an Advanced, General, Technician, or Novice class. 73 John AF5CC ____________
That's in band, unless splattering or leaking toward LSB side. The issue was VE (or DX) was calling CQ test on 7.127 and W's are piling up. VE should not be answering those calls on top of W need to
Its in the band. That frequency is OK on USB. 14.150.5 is pretty high in the band. I usually prefer 14.150.3. 73, Ken N2ZN _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-C
Assuming the transmitter was operating within specs and he was an Extra, it is in band. Dennis NJ6G Doug Free Climbing - The ultimate test of strength and technique. _________________________________
On a related subject It is shocking how many US stations will click and call a DX station who is operating way below 7.125. It isnt a just a few; its a lot. And then there are those who inform the DX
A disturbing number of rigs, most notably recent and current production Yaesu rigs, splatter 2 kHz both sides of their signal only 20 dB down (that is, 2 kHz on the suppressed side and 2 kHz on the o
If I am running EU on 7080kHz SSB or 14.114MHz SSB , it is not my concern if USA stations call me. I'll work'm. That's on THEM and the FCC. (and contest adjudicators doing log checking - perhaps?) I
There was a frequency cop like that who spent good couple of hours on my run frequency (7127.2) telling me about each and every American I worked that "he is out of band". I wonder if he would have s

I can recall one instance where there was a major flap over licence privileges and being "out of band". Several years back there was a ham who was operating from one of the Caribbean possessions as a
What would be the advantage to operating this close to the band edge? The station I am referring to is on this reflector; maybe he would like to comment. Doug Free Climbing - The ultimate test of str
Crazy cops, eh Yuri? Wonder if same cop was "watching" 7.177.2 for General class licensed operators? Geez. Steve NN2NN There was a frequency cop like that who spent good couple of hours on my run fre
I have been there many times, 14.150.5MHz definitely in the US phone band. Unfortunately some OOs (Official Observers) do not understand upper side band very well. I have seen frequency violators nea

Maybe those guys operating above 14.347 were trying for their Worked All Popkingrams? 73 I have been there many times, 14.150.5MHz definitely in the US phone band. Unfortunately some OOs (Official
One advice you get at various contest conferences is to operate close to the bottom of the band... as people don't tune past maybe 14.250 or even 14.200! So this is why, I suppose. 73 Ria, N2RJ _____

There are questions very similar to this in the Extra Class question pool. People should know this. Someone using SSB is going to be USB on 20 meters. 73, Zack W9SZ __________________________________
