[RTTY] New 160 meter bandplan

[Bill Turner]

Below is a part of ARRL Bulletin ARLB027 regarding the new 160
meter band plan.  Anyone want to try 160 meters around 1805 kHz?
I'll be on there tonight around 0300 UTC calling CQ.

FROM ARLB027:

"The Board also adopted the revised band plan for 160 meters
based on a proposal from the ad hoc 160-Meter Band Plan
Committee. The plan adopted sets aside a segment for digital
modes from 1.800 to 1.810 MHz, maintains CW operation for the
entire 1.8 to 2.0 MHz band, recommends a lower limit of 1.843 for
SSB operation, and designates QRP calling frequencies--1.810 for
CW and 1.910 for SSB.

The 1.830 to 1.850 MHz ''DX window'' was eliminated. The
committee recommended that contest sponsors ''consider the use of
DX windows as necessary.'' The plan accommodates established
frequencies used on 160 for AM."
