Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I just filed a public comment on the FCC website:

"As a licensed amateur radio operator (my callsign is KS4TD), I am strongly
opposed to petition RM-11953.  Allowing high-power shortwave transmissions
which are immediately adjacent to many frequencies allocated to amateur
radio would cause a high potential for the disruption of amateur radio use
of said frequencies due to interference.  We amateur radio operators have to
deal with interference daily from poorly installed and configured power line
equipment, "part 15" devices that do not actually meet FCC Part 15
requirements, and many other sources of radio frequency interference (RFI). 
Our spectrum is narrow as it is and we do not want another and potentially
insurmountable source of interference in our assigned radio spectrum."

73 DE KS4TD,
Sean
