That is the band plan for the US in ITU Region2.. The problem is different ITU 
regions and countries have different 160 meter assignments.

I common worldwide allocation will mitigate lots of these issues.

We should urge our IARU representatives to work towards a common 1.8 to 2 Mhz 
160 meter band at the next IARU conference.

Below is the 160 band plan, courtesy of that august group, the ARRL:

160 Meters (1.8-2.0 MHz)
1.800 - 2.000 CW
1.800 - 1.810 Digital Modes
1.810 CW QRP
1.843-2.000 SSB, SSTV and other wideband modes
1.910 SSB QRP
1.995 - 2.000 Experimental
1.999 - 2.000 Beacons

.....digital modes mean "what?" E.G., JT-9/65 found on 1.840 or so...
......SSB from 1.860 and up observed hourly, each day.....
