Topband: ARRL 160M and 1830-1835 change

[Stein-Roar Brobakken]

Hello

This been into global bandplanning by IARU
80,40m also have contest free segments actually !
For those who want to run DX qso non contest
80m 3500-3510 KHz DX window
80m 3650-3700 Khz
80m 3790-3800 KHz DX window
40m 7100-7130 KHz  7110 is Emergency QRG
20m 14100-14125 KHz 

Now 1830-1835 KHz is such area also!!! 

Coz outside US we have in contest permition to use CW and KW 1850-1900 or some 1850-2000 KHz

So must take this with your regulator.

Best Regards,
Stein-Roar Brobakken
