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 can't seem to find a mention of a DX window in either the R1 or R3
IARU bandplans.
I do see R3 puts digital at 1830-1834 and R1 at 1838(1840)-1843
