The Considerate Operator's Frequency Guide
(http://www.arrl.org/files/file/conop.pdf) has changed in recent years.It seems
many are unaware of this.
For example, on 40 meters the ARRL suggestion now is:
7.030 - QRP CW calling freq
7.040 - DX Data, (incl. RTTY and PSK31)
7.080 to 7.125 - RTTY/Data
However, wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSK31) says:
"Current usage as of 2010, based on observation, is centered on 7,070.15 and
21,070.15. There is no authoritative list as the frequencies are determined by
common convention."
Where do you guys work most of your 40 meter PSK31?

Wikipedia is wrong (again). In my experience, all PSK31 (DX and non-DX) is
centered around 7.036, and QRP CW is half near 7.040 and half elsewhere. And
does anybody ever hear PSK31 at 7.080 or higher? I don't.
Similar situations exist on other bands, too.
