Swapping side bands can happen behind your back. I was part of a
multi-multi activating Kings County in the California QSO Party.
My assignment was 10M SSB. The first contact suggested I would
be more successful if I switched from LSB to USB. I have no idea
how I swapped the sideband. I guess holding the wrong button. Or
maybe I held ALT instead of pressing MODE-DOWN.

Make sure you use USB for 20 meters and LSB for 40. SSB sounds
awful if you use the “wrong” sideband.
Also make sure the PBT has not shifted, it should be normally very close to
centered.
14 MHz and higher typically use USB, and lower frequencies typically use LSB.
Sorry if this sounds too basic, however we all have made simple
mistakes. I have made more than my share !
