Many people - many opinions ...

What about the European QRP fans? They probably want to be in a quiet place too ...

As for 40m, split is successfully used there.

Although I already agree with everyone - let everything remain as it was.

I am QRP and like to run.   After I get tired of trying to bust
through the pileups with my weak signal I choose to run. There is
little chance I can make it to EU and the band is just too crowded
above 1810.  I find it easier to find a quiet frequency below 1810 and
I have more success there.  A rule change would eliminate some of my
enjoyment.   Any EU station that calls me is obviously outside their
frequency allocation.  We have the same issue during CQWW phone
contests on 40m.  Other areas of the world can transmit where we
cannot.  We have to know and follow the rules of our country.

Hey

Everything can be solved simply.

To approve the rules for the whole World ( only for contest) - it is impossible to work until 1810. It will be fair.

All -
A friend of mine alerted me to the fact that he heard a QSO take place between someone in the USA and Europe below 1810 during the Stew. I did a little research and verified that this QSO did take place - around 1805
kHz.  However, the European reported the QSO on 1810 kHz.
During this investigation, I have found more of these QSOs - including
about two dozen with one station who was on 1808.9 kHz (per RBN).
Perhaps the rules have changed recently, and these frequencies are
permitted for Region 1 stations? I see all sorts of countries in the list
I have generated so far.
And if these are "illegal" contacts - what should be done about them?
And if a Region 1 stations modified his log to change the frequency
information to make it look legit - is that unsportsmanlike behavior?
