Ron is correct, except, if there happens to be an ARRL honcho in the crowd, as there was a Visalia this year, he can override the 160 meter rule. I've been told that the reason for this is the possibility of 18 MHz cards being "modified" to read 1.8 MHz thus requiring some significant cross checking, not easily done in the field. Wes N7WS >
