The primary objective of the petition is to attack Winlink2000 on HF. The petition is not a smart bomb for Winlink2000. There is tremendous "collateral damage" ...you the ham! It is a blast that obliterates all digital HF innovation. It will kill every ham's ability to explore digital data time-sharing techniques on HF into the future. It will kill the only 24/7 HF emergency data ham radio service that can be accessed without an external computer. The petition is a fight by 20th Century "frequency-division" to try to eliminate new 21st Century "time-division" techniques. Let us hope that the FCC can see through the petitioner's ruse. Do your part, tell them to stop it. Bonnie KQ6XA
