What a can of worms! Its not only wspr mode, but JT65 mode on 60 meters as
well. I have not seen a single USA station transmit exactly in the center of
the channel straddling the 1500 hz audio tone as stated in the rules using
JT65. I can't imagine what people are doing with wspr on that band.  Good
luck in figuring this out.

Subject: [wsjt-devel] Default WSPR frequency on 60 m

Hi all,

Current WSJT-X code has the default frequency for WSPR mode on the 60 m band
set to 5.2872 MHz.  If US hams use this frequency they will be transmitting
on 5288700 +/- 100 Hz, which does not conform to our (rather odd) FCC
regulations for this band.

I think this issue has been discussed before, but I'm not sure what the
result was.  What's our best policy for WSJT-X?  Should we delete the
default WSPR frequency, and caution users to do the right thing, themselves,
depending on their local regulations?
