[Elecraft] BFO Dumb Question

[Jason Hissong]

I have a silly question...

I notice that tuning up and down the CW subbands, I here the CW signal on
both sides of the BFO frequency.  For example, tuning up the band, say I
start on 7022.0.  I start to hear a CW signal at 7022.44.  I keep tuning up
and I can zero beat him at 7022.71. Tuning up, the CW signal disappears at
7023.4.  I zero beat him again on 7023.93.  Then disappears again at 7024.5.
Which side is he on?  (i.e., which frequency is he transmitting on).  I
think 7023.4.  If that is the case, which side of the BFO should I zero beat
on him?  I understand what the BFO does and what I hear in the speaker is
the difference BFO frequency.

I do not know why I have never thought of this before.  I think in the past,
I zero beat on the higher frequency (in my example, it would be the 7023.92)
without giving it much thought.

Sorry for the completely silly question... you can reply direct to me...
(including flames :)

Thanks
