Topband: 160 activity night

I rarely see CW activity much above 1830 kHz. The only issue I see from 
time to time is SSB interference to the 1840 kHz FT8 channel.

VK band is 1800 - 1875 kHz. If a particular mode were moved above 1900 
kHz, some here would miss out. We would have to do what JA FT8 ops did 
until recently and operate split.

Re FT8: My only gripe is its location on 1840. PLENTY of room above 1900 so it wouldn't interfere with other modes. 1840 was, I feel, a poor choice.
