[CQ-Contest] Re: 40 Metres in UK

[Mike Brown]

Also, the UK stations need to be informed that 7.153 is as low as US 
stations can go, not 7.150. A voice transmission on LSB on 7.150 will be 
wide enough to be in our novice band, and you can bet the OO card will be 
coming. A UK station calling CQ on 7.150 probably won't be getting much 
response from US stations (unless he's working split of course). SOP is for 
the US stations to consider 7.153 LSB as our low frequency on ssb. Probably 
obvious to most, but thought I'd point it out anyway.
