Topband: AM interference on 1840

In the past we have chased second harmonic interference problems on
1820 KHZ.Eventually broadcasters have cleared problems.  It's in the
best interest of everyone to keep the band clear as possible. 
Jorge, you may eventually need to contact your government licensing
office.

I don't have a dog in the fight but why not move to 1843 or 1844. Is
1840 sacrosanct?

 Ed

 FT8 can move, but 1840 still is useless to do CW, so is not a FT8
problem

 George said the two big problems, hope this not increase with
harmonics
