If the United States is the self-styled "land of liberty", why on Earth do people like you favor continued overregulation of a HOBBY radio service? RM-11305 is a breath of fresh air for us, offering to free us from the stifling, nitpicking subband regulations that suffocate innovation and relegate us Americans to second-class status in the worldwide amateur radio community. RM-11306 is the bad one. That's the petition that would simply substitute one set of nitpicking regulations for another. Let's get with the IARU band plan for Region 2 and forget about these ossified, government-mandated band plans. As for the problem of ignorant SSB ops who like to "step on" the AM window and overzealous contesters...let Hollingsworth deal with them! We have problems with them now, even with overregulation. This issue of overbearing government regulations should especially strike a chord with people in 4-land. Didn't you guys fight a civil war over 100 years ago over that very issue, as the Confederacy sought to free itself from an overbearing, overreaching central government in Washington?
