It is unfortunate that the Region 1 bandplan (Europe) conflicts with the USA rules and regulations in the 20 meter band between 14100kHz to 14112 kHz. This is the root cause of this situation, that led to Olivia users camping in an area that has been in use quite successfully with little conflict for many years by automatic stations and packet. Several digi networks have made concessions to the Olivia newcomers to this area of the 20 meter band, with the growing popularity of new Olivia operations. In my opinion, Olivia DX operation should stay within 14106.5 to 14108.5 kHz, but when that section is full of QSOs, the domestic QSOs within North America and USA should expand below 14098. This would solve the problem.
