I forget who I was listening to below 7075 that was running Europeans. But
was amazed at how many USA stations worked him on his transmit freq.

Thank you Pete. Some of you know my dry sense of humor, others figure
it out, and yet others have no sense of humor and take everything
personally. Of course, I realize MMs aren't going anywhere (except
the band edges, of course), though I did write my post shortly after
KC1XX moved a mult out from under me...

On the subject of outside the band, there was a Puerto Rican station
CQing at 14349.3. I guess he, and those that called him, don't
realize that is the "carrier" freq. and on USB that is well outside
the band.  Hopefully Uncle Riley wasn't listening and taking notes
there...
