Well according to the official RAC bandplan: 40M - bandwidth 6 kHz 7.000 7.035 CW 7.035 7.050 Digital 7.040 7.050 Intnl packet 7.050 7.100 SSB 7.100 7.120 Packet R# 2 7.120 7.150 CW 7.150 7.300 SSB +
So that's where the problem lies. It would be nice to have co-existing band plans. It was something that Canada and the USA cooperated on for a number of years but I don't know if they bother talking to each other now. They have a hard enough time talking to their own operators. So according to the official RAC band plan in Canada I am not supposed to operate digital on 7.070. That's where common sense comes into play. Anyway sorry that a Canadian station did that to you. I hope it wasn't intentional.
