An exception is the new 60M Ham Band -- use USB. This protocol cam e about as a m atter of convenience in early SSB transceiver design and has rem ained to this day. And yes - you can operate either sideband legally w here phone is allow ed. And yes you can operate CW on the phone bands -- but best stay w ith the protocols.

This ne t is in ope ration almost any time band conditions allow. Ge ne rally, the se times are 1300 to 2200 UTC, but the y can be e xte nde d whe n the re are active mobile s. The primary SSB ope rating fre que ncy of the county hunting ne t is MHz, and is conside re d the ne t home fre que ncy.

COMMON FREQUENCIES The plan for activity has always be e n (since starte d) to conce ntrate activity starting from the bottom e dge of the IARU RTTY bandplan, e xpanding upwards as activity incre ase d. The e xce ption is in the 10 mts band in orde r to give non full privile ge s ham to meet. It was de fine d as 150 Hz above it. Ke e p in mind that all you ne e d is about 100 Hz as channe l se paration. The se re commende d fre que ncie s are in accordance with the IARU bandplan for re gion 1.
