Don't feel TOO bad Bill, I had a similar incident with my Icom 781. I was
running a CW contest and found several signals below 14.000 and thought some of
the East Coast Superstations had lost their mind, "one-upping" each other
trying to be the lowest signal on the band! It turned out to be overload of the
front end of the IC-781... who would have thunk?

I found out just now, that stations I thought were operating above 14.100
and were reversed, was a image problem in my system.
I figured it out....when a while later I worked up the band and found
another station loud and reverse above 14.100
and then
another
and another.
Duh...maybe 1, possibly 2, but not a dozen...
Funny part was that there were a few 'right side up' stations there also.
Guess they were actually transmitting there and not one of my radios
'images'.
Now I have to figure out why my radio led me astray.
Now to go dunk my head....
