[CQ-Contest] MMSN Protection Petition

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

John Clarke KE4CRR has started a petition demanding that the ARRL remove the
frequency range of 14.296 to 14.304 MHz from "al" contests to "protect" the
operations of the Maritime Mobile Service Net on 14.300

He describes his reasoning, such as it is, at
http://forums.qrz.com/showthread.php?339946-Petition-Calling-for-removal-of-
14-296-thru-14-304-from-ARRL-CONTEST .  His actual petition is at
http://arrl.os-services.com 

Do I really need to point out what a dumb idea (IMHO) this is, to put it
mildly?

Anyone who'd like to chime in to the discussion is welcome to do so.
Please.
