Note: By tradition, 20M and up is Upper Sideband, 40M and below is Lower Sideband. An exception is the new 60M Ham Band -- use USB. This protocol came about as a matter of convenience in early SSB transceiver design and has remained to this day. And yes - you can operate either sideband legally where phone is allowed. And yes you can operate CW on the phone bands -- but best stay with the protocols. See URL:

ISLAND HUNTER FREQUENCIES (IOTA)
COUNTY HUNTERS NETS AND CALLING FREQUENCIES
County hunters usually can be found participating in
the Emergency and Mobile County Hunters Net. This net is in operation almost any
time band conditions allow. Generally, these times are 1300 to 2200 UTC, but
they can be extended when there are active mobiles.
The plan for PSK31
activity has always been (since PSK31 started) to concentrate activity
starting from the bottom edge of the IARU RTTY bandplan, expanding upwards as
activity increased. The exception is in the 10 mts band in order to give non
full privileges ham to meet. It was defined as 150 Hz above it. Keep in mind
that all you need is about 100 Hz as channel separation. 1838.150
* This is due to the fact that the 7
MHz band is much wider in region 2 (the Americas), and the IARU bandplan
reflects this.

From The
County Hunter Web
The primary SSB operating frequency of the county hunting net is 14.336 MHz, and
is considered the net home frequency. A secondary net usually is in operation at
7.185 MHz, except between 1545 to 1700 UTC, when it moves to 7.243 MHz.
Occassionally, mobile operators will shift to other bands. The usual frequency
on 75 meters is 3.903 MHz, while 15 and 10 meters are at 21.338 MHz and 28.336
MHz
The CW operating frequencies of the CW net can be found at 14.0565 MHz on 20
meters and 7.0385 on 40 meters. The frequency on 30m is 10.1225 These nets are
not as active but put out a call, and someone will usually come back. The
abbreviation "CHN" is used to designate the net.
These recommended frequencies are in accordance with the IARU bandplan for
region 1. There may be differences for regions 2 and 3
