Remember, in the US amateurs are now allocated the entire band, 1800-2000 kHz 
as primary users.  Radiolocation is officially gone, although other than the 
fishnet beacons, they have been absent for years, made obsolete by the GPS 
system.  Here in the US, there is virtually zero activity by other services 
between the top of the AM broadcast band and the bottom end of 160, even though 
this spectrum remains allocated to Radiolocation.  Also, little or no activity 
of any kind heard between the top end of 160 and WWV at 2.5 MHz.

Who are the protected users of this spectrum in EU, that  keep power and 
frequency restrictions on European hams, not unlike those N. American suffered 
when we shared the band with LORAN?
