a bandplan it should include cw also. 

        Ken, we should always be operating using properly adjusted
equipment...CW and SSB.  One interesting thing I noticed this weekend
was some very bad S9+20 splatter below 1825.  It must have been coming
from a station well up the band because I could not find a fundamental 
signal to correlate it with nearby.  

        The splatter was the bad news...the good news was that the
band was quiet enough below 1825 that I could actually hear it.  In 
years past, I would never have noticed!  ;-)
