Re: A silly SSB Question

I noticed during Field Day that the Kenwood I used most of the time defaulted to LSB for 80 and I think 40, and USB for 20 and 15. I couldn't remember anything about it from when I last studied and I couldn't seem to find anything about it on the internet (then again I was half asleep ).

I asked about it the next morning and I was told that it's kind of a tradition/habit that people do, but not set in stone. They told me to sweep the bands on both LSB and USB and I could possibly find more contacts. I ended up leaving the radio on its defaults, I had more than enough work to do on one sideband.

If I recall, I think the only one that it does matter on is 60 meter, and it has to be USB.

I could be completely wrong about all of that, if so, someone please tell me because I would really like to know for next time.

You are correct. Other than 60M (where the permitted frequencies are "channelized" by FCC rules), there are no specified rules for USB/LSB on HF frequencies.

Similar to band plans, the use of which sideband falls into that general FCC catch all "in accordance to good operating practices..."
