"Cool?" It would be total chaos.
Can you imagine what would happen when, say, someone is running LSB on 7258
kHz while someone else is running USB on 7255 kHz? We're not just talking
run-of-the-mill interference, but total gibberish from each station
operating in "inverted" side band compared to the other.
Is this the next step for radio-sport contesting? Drive the other users off
the bands by doing the exact opposite of good amateur practice?

Ya know,
Think about it, that would be kinda cool if the contest went against
the grain. 160 thru 40 run usb 20 and up go with lsb.
his way when tuning the band the only people you will here are people
playing in the contest. anything else will be un intelligible!
