Wrong Contact.

     Right after getting my general, I discovered my 40 meter
inverted V would tune well on 15 meters and I immediately fell in
love with it.  All that loud DX, too.  So, I'm new on the band.
Tuning up through the CW band, I guess I didn't really know the
band plan.  Hearing a VE7 on side band calling CQ, I tuned up,
called him, and we had a wonderful visit for about 20 minutes.  I
was writing in my log after the contact when a friend of this guy
came on the frequency and said, "Did you know you were 20 KHz
below the American phone band?"  He said, "Oh, i never noticed
that.  I guess you are right."  I quietly turned the VFO up the
band and quickly learned where I could, and couldn't transmit on
15 meters.

Phil.
