For sideband, I use Upper Sideband mostly, and turn down the gain for really
strong signals, as that makes it easier to clarify the sideband signal. Some
amateurs use AM, and some use Lower sideband. Most everyone else use upper
sideband - dunno why.

I usually hear USB above 10 MHz and LSB below 10 MHz. It's a non-formal
ham rule.

Thanks for that insight, Telamon.

I read in the manual for one of my radios that "advanced" hams tend to use
USB, but having listened to some of them, I doubted that theory.

Yours makes much more sense.

It goes back to the first generation SSB transmitters which often
generated SSB around 9 Mc. Heterodyning the frequency lower inverts the
frequencies, which turned the USB at 9 Mc to LSB at 7 or 3 Mc.
Heterodyning up doesn't change the frequency relationship, and USB
remains USB.
