[CQ-Contest] More CQWW SSB spot analysis

[Steve London]

Ranko,

For amateurs in the USA, you are 100% incorrect. The USA regulatory agency, the 
FCC, has made it clear that all emissions must reside within the specified 
frequency allocations.

FCC 97.307(b):
Emissions resulting from modulation must be confined to the band or segment 
available to the control operator. Emissions outside the necessary bandwidth 
must not cause splatter or keyclick interference to operations on adjacent 
frequencies.

By operating above 14348 or 21448 while soliciting responses from the USA, you 
are encouraging USA amateurs to violate their government regulations.

73,
Steve, N2IC

But users are responsible to take care about caries frequency, and only CARRIER frequency is parameter defined in national band plans.
