I won't go into detail, but, the supporters of K1MAN might be
bemoaning some upcoming enforcement issues regarding the ongoing fued
between Glenn Baxter and Riley.
I've got it on good authority that K1MAN will be receiving
some future enforcement action. The reason I'm not posting the emails
I've gotten from,my source, is that I'm respecting a statement that
the emails are internal and not for the public.
All I can say is "stay Tuned". I know that some people will
not appreciate this posting, and I respect that as everyone, including
the trolls on here, has a right to their support or opposition to
K1MAN. I will ignore flames, though, so,k those that wish to do their
imatition of a fire breathing dragon should save their breath and
their time as I have zero interest in replying to a potential flame
war.
Besides...Baxter's license expires in a little less than a
year and given his many letters from Riley over the years, it's a sure
bet that there's a major regulatory hurdle that Baxter will have to
clear up before he gets a renewal ticket.

Pardon the pun, but it would be much more manly of Riley if he got Baxter
off the air before Baxter's license expires. Revocation would send a much
stronger message.

Of course it's more manly to drop Baxter's license. I got a
feeling that he's in for a rude surprise in the coming months.
Regardless, the FCC would have serious doubts about renewing
K1MAN's license next October 14. All I know is that someone at FCC is
working the case now. I got the impression that Baxter's reply to
Riley only served to anger the guy. At the risk of sounding like a
a**kisser here, Riley doesn't appear to the a man you want to tick
off. There's too many instances of where he's went from friendly
advisory tonotces, to multiple warming notices to the dreaded
expensive NAL/FO and even a hearing notice for revocation.
Riley's got a diffucult job and those that do break the rules
only make things much more difficult. Riley seems to understand and
let slide minor things like a very rare minor profanity, as long as
the person making the minor goof doesn't make a habit out of it. He's
got bigger fish to fry, to be honest and is a guy who is qsl a lot of
times.
What some people call ineffective and a paper tiger, I see
differently. He's showing a lot of patience with people who break the
rules and only goes after the major rule-breakers. Heck, K1MAN had
actually gotten Riley off his back for a while by shutting down
temporarily, but, when K1MAN started up again with the matginal
rulebreaking, then, Riley had to resume the investigation. He's liked
some of what he's seen and not others, as evidenced by recent letters.
I, for one, am glad that Riely isn't taking an extreme
hardline view here and he's reasonable as well, judging from some of
the things I've seen. Several people that got into trouble with the
guy fully cooperated with the matter being looked into and if the
person admitted their fault to Riley's satisfaction, the matter was
dropped in a fair manner. Those that drew his ire with willful and
continued violations of the rules deserved their fines, IMHO. Riley
isn't Saddam, Castro or any other dictator who punished for the
slightest violation, yet, some people wither want a Stalin type
response or they blast the man for being too soft.
Heck, if I had the equipment and the right ticket, you'd hear
me talking to the guy as a friend, as we are all supposed to be in
this hobby, correct? Ham is the greatest equalizer since the Grim
Reaper.
