Jon and all,

I always S&P from the top down, and once found myself calling a guy around 
1840 as I wasn't paying attention to where I was.  I think the QP's attract 
a lot more casual ops who probably are pretty much unaware of the 
bandplan.  I listened to the guys under 1843 several times, and didn't 
recognize any calls.  Maybe this can be used as a good reason for the ARRL 
to support the rulemaking.
