I have worked VU2 on FT-8 on 1840 and see them calling cq quite often,
JA work split,  there is no reason to work down at 1826 or there abouts
unless your just trying to irritate others.

Peter, Not all countries allow FT-8 ops on 1840.  JA's work split on
11908.  Last night attempts to work a VU2 he was only able to legally TX
around 1816 with my FT-8 being on 1844.  The agreement came way before FT-8
or other digital modes.  They also don't take in consideration for some
DX-peditions where split operating is required.

I recall hearing FT8 activity on 1830 kHz last evening ... isn't a bit low
in the band for digital modes?  I hope FT-8 activity doesn't squeeze all of
the CW activity down into the DX portion before the dust settles.
