On 7.115.85MHz. S9+ here. I figure he may go split freq shortly and work some stations state-side.

I think I have the first part figured out, you received station Ua3edp on 7.115.85MHz with a strong signal? Why the second decimal point in the frequency? And what does the part in red mean?

We can not legally XMIT (SSB) on 7.115 So he may begin listening up the band (above 7.125), however continue to transmit on 7.115.85. This is a very common method for stations to work each other where the 'band plans' differ.

If he were on 7.115 xmitting, and you hear him say listening 7.150. You would xmit on 7.150, and you would listen on 7.115. He's doing the opposite, therefore you can work each other..

Yes, UA3EDP, a Russian station, is at that specific frequency. Some radios have that level of resolution. If yours doesn't, the you might say he's just a little off of 7.115 in that space where the dial turns but the digits don't change yet. It's analog.
Sometimes a station will split frequencies, that is receive on one frequency and transmit on another because it's also more efficient and less confusing if there's going to be a lot of traffic, with everyone piling on that frequency at once.
