Also as I review this years ARRL 160M rules... An earlier version of the rules (current in 2012) here http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Contest%20Rules%20PDFs/2012/2012-160M-Rules-V2.pdf says "6.1 The segment 1.830 to 1.835 should be used for intercontinental QSOs only".
The latest version here https://contests.arrl.org/ContestRules/160M-Rules.pdf notes that "6. the 1830-135 kHz window is no longer reserved for W/VE-to-DX QSOs in this contest". Does anyone recall, when the rule was officially changed? It wasn't being well respected in some previous years if it was in effect.
