Such a fence would be completely unfair to SSB operations on 160m. Most 
countries do not have frequency allocations above 1850 kHz. By placing 
SSB operators above the allocation of most countries, you've effectively 
removed any chance of an SSB operator working a DX station.


If the top end of the band is unused, why don't "disrupted" CW operators 
go there during an SSB contest? Hmmm?
