[CQ-Contest] Relief for 40M in sight?

[Michael Keane K1MK]

What? Are you talking about the absence of 1800-1810 kHz from the IARU 
Region 1 bandplan?

Simple. Amateurs in most Region 1 countries don't have access to it 
because 1800-1810 kHz is allocated to the Radiolocation Service in 
Region 1.
