NOT TRUE!

The WHOLE BAND is the "CW Portion". I'm sure SOME part of 1800-2000 kHz 
is free of SSB signals during any contest.

The biggest problem when dealing with 160m allocations is that most of 
the world only has access to 1810-1850 kHz, so everyone tries to crowd in 
there, especially during contests which recognize a higher value for DX 
contacts.
