Galaxy Electronics Founder Leo Meyerson Asks FCC To Deny K1MAN...
I never even heard this Baxter dude, but I'm going to have to tune him
in because he's managed to rile people more than a little old pirate
radio station ever could.
Leo Myerson:
'I urge the FCC to deny the renewal of Glenn
Baxter's license.' Meyerson Letter
In the past ten years the FCC has received
numerous complaints regarding Glenn A.
Baxter.
Means nothing. Lot's of people get complaints. The FCC receives multiple
complaints on the same party(s) on a regular basis, commercial included.
The FCC is currently evaluating these
complaints.
..their job.
This page responds to the public's
interest in Baxter's character qualifications, or
lack thereof.
No, it responds to YOUR interest in Baxter.

That makes it sound so official to the layman that one may believe such
a claim authenticates the personal opinions expressed and somehow
morphs such opinions into fact.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
Leo Meyerson (above right) has informed the
amateur community that he does not support
Glenn Baxter, IARN, AARA, or any of Baxter's
activities.
Did this Baxter guy actually say that?
In fact, Meyerson is incensed that
Baxter appears to be using his likeness and
image to promote his businesses.
That sounds very much like citing The Center for Media Studies to give
the false impression the personal opinions on that page are somehow
authenticated by the invocation of such Center. Hypocrisy.
Meyerson has sent a letter to the FCC urging
them not to renew Baxter's FCC license.
Baxter, whose FCC license has expired, has
been accused of sending unwanted
commercial email (spam) to promote his
businesses.
Accused is not the same as guilt.
In his unsolicited mailings, Baxter mentions
Myerson, and on his webpage, Baxter
features a photo of himself with Leo and his
wife Helen.
The writer above first claims Baxter was merely "accused" of sending
spam, then affirms Baxter's guilt by detailing the "unsolicited
mailings" which should have read "alleged unsolicited mailings."
Meyerson said, "Years ago, Baxter insisted on
posing with my wife and me for a picture. I
obliged him. I have no relationship with him
whatsoever. I have not seen him for years.
Please let the amateur community know I'm
not affiliated with him in any way. I believe he
is using my name in an attempt to gain
credibility and I strongly protest the use of my
name in this manner."
Leo Meyerson is an acknowledged pioneer in
the field of radio. Leo is the founder of World
Radio Laboratories and Galaxy Electronics.
Throughout the years Leo has been very
active in public service.
Which entails special treatment or the weighing of his opinion exactly
how?
A life member of the Quarter Century
Wireless Association, Leo served as a
National Director from 1977 to 1987. In 1991
he was named the QCWA Amateur Member
of the year and in 1994 he was inducted into
the QCWA Hall of Fame. Leo is also a life
member of the American Radio Relay League,
At first it appeared you were trying to build
Meyerson up, then you smear him by illustrating his close association
with the incompetents.
Society of Wireless Pioneers, and
International Mission Radio Association
among other associations. In 1980 Leo was
elected a fellow of the Radio Club of America,
one of the most prestigious radio clubs in
America.
I think I get your gist. The more radio-related clubs one belongs to,
the more valid their
opinion should be recognized and more weight given.
Leo Meyerson is the second radio icon to
denounce Glenn Baxter, ex-K1MAN. The first
was famous broadcaster Walter Cronkite, who
has publicly stated that he has experience
with Baxter's lack of ethics.
According to what has been posted here, I believe Baxter also publicly
commented on Cronkite and his lack of integrity regarding the entire
incident.
Cronkite also called on the FCC to deny
renewal of Baxter's amateur radio licenses.
(See Mr. Cronkite's letter regarding Baxter's
lack of ethics below).
The FCC gives no more creedence to Cronkite's letter than they do to
yours. All are treated equally and the FCC renders decisions independent
ofletters from the public.
There is widespread speculation that the FCC
will affirm Baxter's $21,000 fine and designate
his license for a renewal hearing in front of an
administrative law judge. The judge may deny
renewal to Baxter at that time.
There is also "widespread" speculation that Baxter will drag this out
and in the mean time, continue to operate.
An administrative law judge also has the
authority to order Baxter off the air during any
possible appeal process.
+ November 18, 2005. Leo Meyerson sends
the FCC a letter urging the Commission to
deny license renewal to Glenn Baxter.
+ November 13, 2005. Glenn Baxter,
discussing some of his heroes, whom he says
had no formal education, continues to rail
against FCC Enforcement, saying, "Riley is a
typical moron attorney.
Sounds extremely accurate in my opinion.
Riley IS smart and very dangerous, but he is
still a moron. And a cheap, corrupt politician."
I believe that and I'll tell you why. Riley does not enjoy being pinned
down and made to answer questions that require specific answers. He
would rather hedge and lie instead of admitting he doesn't have the
information one seeks or know the answer to one's question. Some of the
government types are arrogant pricks these days, forgetting where their
salary originates.
Baxter went on to say, "As a group, the
biggest impact on the modern world seems to
be among the no degree folks. Hitler and
Stalin did not have degrees." Baxter also
counts ex-ham Richard Whiten among his
good friends.
I see. Such opinions should be censored because.....because,,,,what?
They offend you?
Audio: Baxter's good friend and radio show
co-host, Rich Whiten. Use
caution! This is a disgustingly racist
monologue.
I can see where one could claim as much..
Baxter's widely distributed email
supports the theory that Baxter has nothing
but contempt for the FCC and its employees.
Most who are educated about the FCC, do have contempt for them. If
you're not ****ed off at the FCC, then you're not paying attention.
It is hard to imagine how an administrative law
judge reading such a message could possibly
interpret Baxter's statements as anything but
total rejection of the authority of the FCC and
its Special Counsel for Enforcement, Riley
Hollingsworth.
I see. Since when was he charged with "rejection" and when did it become
a crime? Never mind.
