So what I read into all this is: that those shared and excluded frequencies
are allocated to other occupants that now rarely ( if ever) use them, but that
national administrations don't think the amateur radio issue is important
enough to take on the task of co-ordinating with other countries in the region,
to fully return them to amateurs?

IARU tried at WRC 2015 to get an agenda item for WRC 2019 on the global
harmonisation of the 160m band. We failed - there was simply not enough
support from national administrations, many of whom could not see the
priority. So although IARU can continue to seek harmonisation, the reality
is that this is not going to happen any time soon, sadly.

say that there are no other users, but it's not like it used to be when the
current spectrum allocations were originally agreed.

for WRC 19.

the power levels implicit in the ITU schedules, whilst others are not.
> There may, therefore, be some scope for national agreements to improve the
situation.
