FB Prasad,
I worked a VU2 on 1840 on DEC 23 2018 so I assume that was just before
the new rulings.
Thanks for the new info.

Hello All,
As stated by Prasad already, the new allocation has limited our allocation to
1800-1825 kHZ.
We were hoping to get a clarification from our licensing authority and were
told in December last week that the new allocation plan would be followed.
You would have seen me QRV on FT8
Merv and all,
We had 1820-1860 kHz in VU but a newly released National Frequency Allocation
Plan has changed it to 1800-1825 kHz.
Talks are under way to try and get back the old frequency allocation but until
then we will have to go low and work split on FT8 or other digital modes.
Couple of
I have worked VU2 on FT-8 on 1840 and see them calling cq quite often,
JA work split, there is no reason to work down at 1826 or there abouts
unless your just trying to irritate others.

Peter, Not all countries allow FT-8 ops on 1840. JA's work split on

around 1816 with my FT-8 being on 1844. The agreement came way before FT-8

Hope we can all give each other a little space to enjoy the gentleman's band.

I've been chided for having early morning cw rag chews on 1826.5, yet I
heard ARRL code practice sessions Tuesday evening from 7PM and later on,
while waiting for a top band sprint to start.
Seems to me more egregious than having to work around ops trying to make
some WAS or DX contacts using
FT8 is at 1840, with the corresponding signals spread between 1840-1842,
very contained. No fear of "squeezing CW".

I recall hearing FT8 activity on 1830 kHz last evening ... isn't a bit low
