That's a touchy one Joe. The JA's have been using 1908 for their FT8 window.
Anything above 1845 you start running into SSB stations. Maybe 1838 to be
just above the WSPR. I know you will run into the established 1840 FT8 but a
compromise will be needed. Another choice maybe is 1833 for dxpedition mode.
Maybe that might work. I hope some other TB dxers could chime in.

Thanks for catching this error. Not a typo, exactly, but 1.8265 is the
likely CW (not FT8) frequency for the KH1 DXpedition. They are not
currently planning to use FT8 on 160m.
For now, I will simply delete 1.8265 from the list of suggested FT8
DXpedition frequencies. Do you have a suggestion for something else for
160m? 1.836 would clobber the WSPR sub-band. 1.843 or thereabouts might be
OK, except for JA. JA will need something like 1.900, I believe.
