Topband: FT8 qrm & Bandplanning History on 160m

[Roger Kennedy]

Hi Jeff

Agree with most of your comments . . . 

However - if there was a 160m CW sub-band, it might be a RULE in the USA . .
. but it wouldn't apply elsewhere . . .

So what would be the point?!  I think 160m works pretty well as it is.  (and
compared to all the other bands, it's still the most gentleman-ly in my
opinion!)

However - I wish more NA stations would actually transmit between 1800 and
1810 kHz (and listen for EU above 1810, like the old days), as this is
lovely clear chunk of the band.

And please note that between about 1811 and 1815 are some horrible wide
beacons over here, so not a good place to hear DX.
