Appreciate the reminder re Region 2, Mike.....but......will a "common plan"
amongst all IARU regions, if not adhered to by participants (evidenced here in
Region 2), be "worth the effort" to bring about???
Again, I am a newbie to 160 AND a QRP operator so DXCC entities, to me, mean
anything west of the U.S., stopping just past HL/JA/VK lands.
P.S. I'm "new" so....be gentle in your replies!!

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.....
