Mike McCarron, MC, climbed to 18,000 ft and was hoping that through
Albany's Control Tower, Boston Center could be contacted for a wave
window. It was disappointing to hear Albany come back on the radio and
request that he return to flight level 16.5.

I'm curious about the reason for the request to go to FL165. Is there
Class A or some other Flight Level type airspace in that area that is
below 18,000 msl?
