[Dxbase] Why LSB/USB designation?

Sat Sep 18 02:55:02 EDT 2004

 This thing about the 160 mtr USB has surfaced several times and I 
realize there's a patch to correct it.
 However I've never understood why anyone would want to designate which 
sideband they used on any band? It seems like just entering a contact as 
SSB would suffice and would stop the LoTW confusion. If anyone has some 
reason to list which sideband they can put it in their notes. Maybe 
there's some reasoning behind this that escapes me. ???
