Matt, when you reverse the side of the signal, you reverse the side the QRM
is on.
I once heard the answer on this list, but 160 75 and 40 meters are lower
sideband, while 60 20 17 15 12 10 and 6 meters are uper sideband.
There is no law for this, but it is world wide tradition.
For some reason which I should understand and don't, lower sideband is above
the center frequency, while uper sideband is on the lower side.

Hi, Fred.  Thanks.  Just asking question in view of what they tell you when
studying for general; actuaally one of the questions on the exam.  In fact,
I had a 500HZ CW filter installed when I bought my radio.--Matt, N1IBB.
