All, I feel the issue is that the band plans for the three regions are not aligned, especially region 2.
Since CW is still a popular mode of communications for this band I propose three regions should allocate 1810-1840 for CW. SSB is not a popular on 160 as it is on 80 or 40. I don't hear much activity except during contests. Digital modes will grow, so I propose allocating 1840-1870 for narrowband digital modes and 1870-2000 for SSB and wideband digital modes.

I do see R3 puts digital at 1830-1834 and R1 at 1838(1840)-1843 73, Brian N2AET _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
