As others stated, above 40m it's USB, 40m and below is LSB however there is a net which meets on 40 meters using older military equipment which does not run LSB, only USB. So if you hear them be kind. I've stumbled across them once and could hear the upper sideband while on LSB, switched to USB, and heard them fine. I made sure not to QRM when I was running LSB. There may be other exceptions like this as well.
Also, give the AM guys lots of room. When on SSB if I hear a carrier and can hear the USB/LSB I know they're AM and give 'em some room. The TS-530S I run as a base station doesn't have AM. Had to run out to my car (FT-900) one day to work Mexico calling CQ AM; first AM contact on 25W  |
