Ok! Now I've got my great new SSB installed. How the heck do I use it? The
manual has all the technical stuff to operate it, but I'm looking for a book
or site that is a primer for SSB operation. I mean really basic, like what
frequency is the equivalent of 16 from VHF? TIA!

Grabel's Law: 2 is not equal to 3 -- not even for large values of 2.

the freq 2182 is the SSB equivalent of channel 16.
---------------------------
to see who "wf3h" is, go to "qrz.com"
and enter 'wf3h' in the field

The only problem is that no one is listening to 2182 anymore,
and even if they were, MF is only good for 250 miles or so
during sunlight if your lucky, and the shore station doesn't
have any local noise masking out your transmission. Here in
the North Pacific 4125.0 is where "Everyone" is including
CommSta Kodiak with their 15Kw Main Transmitter, and that 40
Acre Aantenna Farm. After dark, the whole North Pacific can
be heard with a "Wet Noodle" for an antenna. If your going
to Scream for Help, better to do it where someone is actually
listening.
