As I recall the discussion at Windsor, John, G3WKL, announced
that IARU Region 1 had agreed not to have any bandplanning on the
136kHz band.
However, there were some guidelines agreed which would help
everyone know where to find what type of activity. I am sure there is
no intention of banning anyone from any part of the band, but it has
been very helpful, for instance, to know which part of the band to
monitor for slow CW, and which for CQ calls in normal CW. I am
sure that those using PSK31 will also appreciate knowing that they
are likely to find such activity in the region of 137.2 to 137.6kHz.
This agreement is intended only to help people, not to restrict them
and so long as common sense is applied there should be no more
conflicts than can be expected on such a narrow band.
