It is the "custom" for CW mode to use LSB on the bands below 20 meters and
CW USB on 20 meters and the bands above it.
Hiram Percey decided that long ago.

I for one like the tuning direction of the Elecraft rigs in CW (LSB).
When I began ham radio using much older
I find it helpful to tune from a high pitch to a low pitch. That way, I
hear the signal coming rather than have it sneak up behind me and tune
past the optimum tone. That means, I have to shift the Reverse function
depending on whether I am tuning up or down in frequency.

When I began ham radio using much older receivers, I liked listening
with the BFO set to LSB. My perception was "If the pitch goes up, I am
tuning to a higher frequency". Those receivers did not have very good
frequency
IIRC there was no "standard". It was an arbitrary choice by the manufacturer
which side of the filter they put the BFO crystal frequency. Nice to have a
choice with the K3!

Something that bugs me just a tiny wee bit.
So, for years I used a Kenwood or two, then a Yaesu or three, then a
Ten-Tec. Much of the time on CW. When I tuned a band, say 20M, I would
start at the bottom of the band and tune upwards in frequency. When I did
this, as I approached a CW signal
