[CQ-Contest] CQ 160m SSB contest

[Rick Lindquist, WW1ME]

Belated comment, I know. Just reviewing the unopened backlog on this
reflector. Petitions to create mode-specific subbands for 160 (one would
have restricted SSB operation to above 1843) have been FCC turned away by
the FCC.

Why Not?  It's not like they did not impose operating restrictions in the
past.

"A large part of the U.S. 160 meter band was allocated on a primary basis to
the LORAN <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LORAN> radio-navigation system that
began operating in and around the 160 meter band in 1942. 
Amateurs were relegated to secondary, non-interfering status, with severe
regional power limitations and restricted day/night operations on just a few
narrow segments of the band."
