Bill,

I have one question for you and Jeff to answer:

Why did you submit this petition for mode segmentation prior to the ARRL
bandplan taking effect?

How could you possibly tell the ARRL bandplan would be ineffective in
reducing cross-mode interference on 160m if you didn't give it time to be
implemented and observe the results?

My support hinges on your answer.
