I suppose you are only "telling it like it is". However, I think SSB
operation on 50.100 is a poor idea if it is the top of a CW-only band
segment. There is a chance your frequency measurements could be a little
off, as well as a probability of some residual lower sideband being
present in the output of your rig. Could you have meant 50.110 instead?
During a recent band opening, I overheard a comment that 50.100 was a
CW calling frequency, which makes more sense.
