Re: Topband: CQ160

[Henk PA5KT <pa5kt@remijn.net>]

During contest when the band is full with CQ machines I used to listen 
below 1810 to check out conditions. There are always stations active and 
as that part is always clear it is very useful to check if I can hear NA.
It would be very effective to work split around 1810.
