A simple search on Google turned up more than 8 pages of articles
on K1MAN.

Toddie's correct that "K1MAN's been around a long time. He's

been
fighting the FCC since at least 1988 for as far back as I was willing
to look.

So that means the FCC has quite a few years of documentation on

him
for his upcoming October 2005 renewal.

So...If Toddie wants to say "See, I can do what I want too",

then
he can look at it from that angle.

I say Riley and Company has had enough and the hammer is

falling.


To Toddie, I say go ahead and spend the money on legal issues if
you want...I'd rather spend them on enjoying Amateur Radio.

Of course your posts in here have pretty well set the tone for
what kind of reaction you can expect. People don't want to get
"information" from the decietful, dishonest or the lame.

You're all three.

BTW...The two of you had asked me to post where K1MAN had ever
been cited for misconduct or fines levied. Here's one right off the
top. Granted it's timed, but it was from many to choose from and
establishes the pattern.

I am sure there are far more.

Good luck, Toddie!

K1MAN FCC field Operations Bureau Chief, Richard M. Smith, has moved

to
stop the International Amateur Radio Network bulletins from being
transmitted on the hambands. In a four page letter dated August 27th,
Smith affirmed a $1500 monetary forfeiture imposed on Glen Baxter

K1MAN
last year by the FCC's Belfast, Maine Monitoring Station. Baxter was
cited for alleged broadcasting and alleged interference caused by the
broadcasts. Baxter immediately requested reconsideration by the Field
Operations Bureau. He argued that his broadcasts were, in fact, FCC
authorized information bulletins. He also claimed that the alleged
interference was no different than that caused by the ARRL's W1AW

when
it takes to the air each day. But Smith disagreed and upheld the
charges and the imposed $1500 fine. As a result, K1MAN now says that

he
will take the matter to the full Commission. On September 29th Baxter
filed a six page Petition for Review that requests the commission
undertake the resolution of the issues involved in the case. Baxter

has
also issued a statement that says he will continue to fight even if

it
means taking the case to the United States Supreme Court. The
government also appears to be getting ready for a long and involved
legal fight.


The full commission dismissed it.....here's a an article from 2004:


ENFORCEMENT: FCC AGAIN WRITES TO K1MAN

The FCC has again written to Glenn Baxter, K1MAN, and the commissions
note
has both good and bad news for the Belgrade Lakes, Maine radio amateur.
On
the positive side, the April 14th letter informs K1MAN that a review of
his
transmissions indicates that he is complying with the Amateur Service
regulations
regarding broadcasting and bulletins and station control.

The negative? The FCC alleges that K1MAN is in violation of rules
regarding use
of his Amateur station for pecuniary interest and those regarding
deliberate
interference to ongoing communications.

Also, the letter again told Baxter that his "felony affidavit
complaints" will not be
accepted by the regulatory agency. He was also reminded that all
frequencies in
the Amateur Radio Service are shared. No frequency is assigned for the

exclusive use of any station, and that Baxter's station has no
greater rights to a
frequency at any particular time than does any other Amateur station.
