Rick, RM-11392 is a most excellent example of a bad petition in my opinion. As Andrew stated, The proposal has no chance of being adopted. Also, I don't see any relevance to your CW vs. SSB comments and RM-11392. I don't know where the heck you operate CW, even with my oldest hybrid

Rick, I usually agree with your comments but I do not agree that the petition is dead. The FCC has probably been waiting for the ham community to be self-policing and handle this interference problem. Can you suggest any other reason that they have not cited the interfering stations? Since
