"I had enough of it and told him that if he didn't quit talking over others
in our QSO that I would just move up to 92 and do the same thing to him on
SSB. Well, things escalated, and Win/W5WM and myself did exactly that. I
turned my Henry 3K export on full bore and moved to 92 SSB and so did Win."
Sometimes it's easier to just turn the dial:

60 Meters: Five Specific Channels
The FCC has granted hams secondary access on USB only to five discrete
2.8-kHz-wide channels. Amateurs can not cause inference to and must accept
interference from the Primary Government users. The NTIA says that hams
planning to operate on 60 meters "must assure that their signal is
transmitted on the channel center frequency." This means that amateurs
should set their carrier frequency 1.5 kHz lower than the channel center
frequency.
General, Advanced and Amateur Extra classes:
Channel Center
Amateur Tuning Frequency
5332 kHz
5330.5 kHz
5348 kHz
5346.5 kHz
5368 kHz
5366.5 kHz
5373 kHz
5371.5 kHz
5405 kHz (common US/UK)
5403.5 kHz
Amateurs may use USB *only* with a maximum effective radiated power (ERP) of
50 W. Radiated power must not exceed the equivalent of 50 W PEP transmitter
output power into an antenna with a gain of 0 dBd. For details, see the 60
Meter FAQ page.

latitude. See Section 97.307(f)(11). Novice and Technician licensees outside
ITU Region 2 may use CW only between 7.050 and 7.075 MHz. See Section

The FCC has allocated 219-220 MHz to amateur use on a secondary basis. This
allocation is only for fixed digital message forwarding systems operated by
all licensees except Novices. Amateur operations must not cause interference
to, and must accept interference from, primary services in this and adjacent
bands. Amateur stations are limited to 50 W PEP output and 100 kHz
bandwidth. Automated Maritime Telecommunications Systems (AMTS) stations are
the primary occupants in this band. Amateur stations within 398 miles of an
AMTS station must notify the station in writing at least 30 days prior to
beginning operations. Amateur stations within 50 miles of an AMTS station
must get permission in writing from the AMTS station before beginning
operations. ARRL Headquarters maintains a database of AMTS stations. The FCC
requires that amateur operators provide written notification including the
station's geographic location to the ARRL for inclusion in a database at
least 30 days before beginning operations. See Section 97.303(e) of the FCC
Rules.
