May an Extra class operator answer the CQ of a station on 3.601 MHz LSB phone?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. No, the sideband components will extend beyond the edge of the phone band segment
The Extra class 75-meter phone segment starts at 3.600 MHz. An LSB signal on 3.601 MHz extends about 3 kHz below the carrier, down to about 3.598 MHz, which is outside the phone segment.
Tip: LSB near the bottom edge spills out.
FCC rule reference: Part 97.301, 97.305
