Pete, while the ARRL bulletins are a special case the problem could easily be solved by adding plus-minus depending on frequency occupancy the way some nets publish their schedule. They also are getting complaints about the cw bulletins on 80m trashing the PSK guys, here's a radical idea....move the cw bulletins above 3600, you don't need to have an Extra license to listen.

As far as "published" frequencies to avoid add these that can't move either, not in the auto sub band 7,098.000, 7,097.00, 7,096.500, 7,096.000, 7,093.000, 7,090.500, 7,089.500, 7,088.500, 7,087.500, 7,085.000, 7,085.000, 7,082.00, 7,080.000, 7,077.500, 7,075.500, 7,072.000, 7,070.000, 7,065.900, 7,063.900, 7,061.500, 7,061.000, these are only the 40m US Winmor stations, there's more non-domestic further cluttering the band. The JT and PSK watering holes are easy to avoid because if the band is open those small slots will be full of activity, Winmor will come up on a pile up just like W1AW did....ask the guys
that lost an FT5ZM contact.

I really don't think the rest of the world gives a damn about our allocations or the W1AW schedule, SSB all the way down to 7050 and it seems they don't care about anything else on the band.

IIRC, the ARRL has operated for decades on a fixed frequency and schedule, broadcasting bulletins - an activity not permitted to radio amateurs - by specific permission of the FCC. I frankly think it is the responsibility of operators, including those on expeditions, to know of any respect those frequencies and schedules.
