Operation on 1710 kc

"From what i've heard 1710khz all the way up to 2000khz is dead."

An investment with a communications receiver and a long piece of wire is recommended. :) CW and SSB signals abound between 1.8 and 2 MHZ. DX station early in the morning from Asia and Australia can be easliy heard.
 
On the other hand, if 1.8 - 2.0 mhz is the 160 meter ham band, what is now authorized 1.710 - 1.799? Used to be there were Loran beacons on those frequencies...
 
1750 kHz and 1800 kHz were LORAN-A frequencies, discontinued at the end of 1980. 1710 kHz was a TIS frequency, but is no longer listed as such in the rules. 1710 kHz to 1800 kHz are allocated to radiolocation, radionavigation, public safety, and police. These applications are probably obsolete on these frequencies.
 
The problem is not that there appears to be space to 'broadcast' on 1705-1795 kHz, but who other than Hams or DXers will be able to tune in? (;> Ya gotta know that Average Joe's AM radio 'dial' ends at 1700 (maybe 1710).
