FB Prasad,
I worked a VU2 on 1840 on DEC 23 2018 so I assume that was just before
the new rulings.
Thanks for the new info.

Merv and all,
We had 1820-1860 kHz in VU but a newly released National Frequency Allocation
Plan has changed it to 1800-1825 kHz.
Talks are under way to try and get back the old frequency allocation but until
then we will have to go low and work split on FT8 or other digital modes.
Couple of folks are still using the old allocation based on their
interpretation :)
Putting up my 160 vertical back up today after my lightning hit in May, hope to
work a few in CQ160.
73,
Prasad VU2PTT.

I have worked VU2 on FT-8 on 1840 and see them calling cq quite often,
JA work split, there is no reason to work down at 1826 or there abouts
unless your just trying to irritate others.

Peter, Not all countries allow FT-8 ops on 1840. JA's work split on
11908. Last night attempts to work a VU2 he was only able to legally TX
around 1816 with my FT-8 being on 1844. The agreement came way before FT-8
or other digital modes. They also don't take in consideration for some
DX-peditions where split operating is required.

I recall hearing FT8 activity on 1830 kHz last evening ... isn't a bit low
in the band for digital modes? I hope FT-8 activity doesn't squeeze all of
the CW activity down into the DX portion before the dust settles.
