[SEDXC] Be careful with band limits

I saw several spots today for an HL5 who was listening 10 up on 12 meters. 
He was on 24.980 so 10 up would be the upper limit on 12 USB.  I saw a W6 
list him listening up 10 to 15 which would put stations working him mostly 
out of the band (even DX stations).

I heard an Africian DX station on 18.160 listening up 7 to 10 up.  The Band 
limit is 18.168.

Also be careful on 40 SSB.  The lowest frequency you can transmit on is 7128 
LSB.  There was a Dx station on 7.125 recently tuning 3 to 5 up.  Several 
USA stations were calling on 7127 which is again out of the band.

If you don't have one of the nice color coded band charts go to the ARRL Web 
page and print out the frequency allocation pages.  This incudes the new 60 
meter channels.
