Odd. I definitely get it on LSB. Some days there's a pretty weak
USB component but LSB is the consistently stronger of the two.

You've some sort of receiver problem.

Maybe, but it's not showing up anywhere else; SSB on all the ham
bands is fine. Tonight, for example, the USB component is there on
7590 and quite listenable, but LSB is definitely better.

Who knows what happens to the signal on its bouncy journey across
1000 miles of open ocean.

Well, it sure doesn't shift from USB to LSB on its trip! You have a
receiver problem.

What exactly are you using?

Reading his attribution of your previous post why take him seriously?

Right now I'm getting it on 7590 USB, on a different receiver than last
time, and there is no sign of anything on LSB.

The other Dave at 45N 75W

Well that is a big surprise. Time to add the goof ball to your kill file
before he starts hearing "voices" on LSB again for a USB station.

Looks like you were right in that. I was playing with the IF shift on
USB and LSB while on 7590 - at that time, both sidebands were in
evidence then the lower sideband disappeared when I went back to it,
leaving only the upper one which is now coming in strongly.

Quite why it was showing that effect, I don't know. Honestly, it was
coming in clearly on what appeared to be LSB prior to that.

Thanks for the nudge.

No thanks to Telemon.
