Commercial Interests Petition FCC for High Power Allocation on Shortwave Spectrum
They've been doing this on a STA for some time now and there have been no interference complaints. It's a not a big deal now, but could lead to other industries wanting to do the same thing. Could turn into something to worry about at some point.

As long as corporations view it as a way to make more cash, it will never be safe. I'm really hoping the ARRL does what amateurs are paying it to do, and fight this tooth and nail. Sadly their track record doesn't give me hope at all.
@Dusty @kb6nu Keep in mind that ARRL is limited by the amount of money we give them. It's less than a drop in the bucket compared to what Verizon et. al. can pay for influence. Is this the fault of the ARRL, or the fault if the people that elect corruptible shills?
The ARRL's track record is not a sign of failure by the ARRL. Given the resources they have to work with, and the willingness to cheat their adversaries possess, and our ability to elect criminals, they've been performimg miracles.
