>> In this season here in JA many of us will experience these IMD problems
>> around 1820kHz.

I hope the JA's operate split, and move the W's to harmless 
frequencies. Things will be much worse now working JA from the 
USA, if operating simplex. There are several dozens of JA's on, and 
dozens of W's, at any time during winter.

The QRM will be bad now on both ends of the path, especially 
since some W's work SSB on 1815, 1818, and 1823! It would be 
nice to have split operation with a true DX window again.
