60 Meters for dummies



Do I understand where the CW transmission actually is (600 Hz above dial 
frequency)?  Please explain.



USB - set VFO to the lower edge of the "channel (1500 Hz below center 
frequency). Giving audio emissions from 300 to 3000 Hz above that.



K3 and CW - on my waterfall (in HRD) the trace made by my CW transmission is 
at the (+)600 marker above the bottom of the waterfall.  This is where I 
conclude the transmission actually is, resulting in the 600 Hz tone above 
where I am actually tuned.  Now, do they want this actual +600 Hz 
transmission in the center of the channel?  Or do they want us to tune to 
the center of the band and transmit 600 Hz above that?  If they are tuned to 
the lower edge of the band do they want to hear a 2100 Hz tone (with us 
tuned to the center frequency) or do they want to hear a 1500 Hz tone (with 
us tuned 600 Hz below center frequency)?



On PSK31 - Do they want us to tune to the bottom of the channel and then 
transmit only a single signal directly on the 1500 Hz marker?  There would 
be room for many others as well without exceeding the bandwidth allocated to 
us.



And what is this "data using PACTOR-III technique"?

Somebody please straighten me out.
