John,

Looks close to  my post , just, as wspr is such a narrow mode, could move to 
the band edge without problems
clear of the occasional  qrss slightly lower down

With a move to vfo/exciter control,  defining the wspr slot is a reasonable 
concept as it will allow other 'casual'
monitor stations to  be established .. and negate the number of post needed 
to  announce a test !

What of the beacons that used this area of the band , are they qrt or just 
sleeping ?

G ..
