If its on 7.088 it is illegal in any region or country that are members of the ITU. Its quite possible its a multiple of another freq which has gotten out of hand and is transmitting out of band. Indeed, call the FCC and report such signals. I have done so many times in the past and

Yes - It puts the PSK and the CW in the same place. Psk can copy right up to the edge of the CW, but it doesnt work the opposite directiion, unless one has extremely narrow filters, and even with my 250 cy filter, I can hear PSK that close. I hope they intend to have sub bands for psk within
