Good luck with your first QSO Carmela. You will be nervous, but it
will all work out fine. BTW, while you would use LSB mode on the low
bands (75 and 40 meters), you would use USB (upper side band) mode on
the higher bands of 20, 17, 15, 12, and 10 meters.
Of course be sure to stay within the frequency limits of your license
class. Also if the other stations sound like Donald Duck talking into a
bucket, be sure you are on the correct sideband for the band you are
operating. Last of all, have fun.
