It's reserved here for EME only, which is probably the case for 
pretty much all of the world.  The graphic representation of our 
bandplan says CW only, but the text note just says EME (which would 
give latitude for non CW EME activity).  So essentially the same 
would apply here too.

As I said, cases like you mention, education should be the first 
step.  In my experience, education resolves 95-99% of these issues, 
as it's usually out of ignorance that these things happen.
