BTW: Are these "always" USB ?

I'm sure someone will come up with an exception, but all SSB traffic
except for ham radio is USB. Many modern commercial radios don't even
have LSB as an option.

Ham radio is LSB on 160m, 80/75, and 40m, USB on all other bands.

But USB can be used on 160, 80/75 and 40 can't it? And LSB can be used if desired
on the other bands as well, correct? (except for 60 meters of course).


It's a de facto not de jure standard, called a 'gentleman's agreement'
and although fairly well adhered to, there are occasional exceptions.

Yes, I'm very much aware of that... I was merely trying to make a point.
