I notice the 160 meter bandplan does not even mention any DX window 
at all. Between this glaring omission and the 40 meter RTTY DX 
calling frequency fiasco, one can only wonder what's going on at 
headquarters. I suspect some powerful politics but I have no personal 
knowledge.

For some additional detail on the ARRL bandplan, see "The Considerate 
Operator's  Frequency Guide" at
