What's up with K1MAN and his battle with the FCC (and everyone else)?

Currently the situation is that he owes the FCC a boat load of cash as
the fines have been affirmed. His renewal application has been set
aside, but until it's fully rejected he retains his privilages to
operate.

We are waiting for the pending dismissal of his renewal aplication that
will end K1MAN's operating privilages and the collection of the fines
by the DOJ.

The rejection of his license renewal could happen at any time. In fact
I expected it to happen before now. I'm starting to wonder if he's not
trying to make a deal with the FCC and it's holding up final actions.

or if the fcc is trying to make a deal with him

I still don't think they (fcc) exactly want to fight it out for some
reason

I really don't think the FCC is at a loss with how to deal with this
guy, but that's a possible reason for the delay.

The most likely reason is that they are waiting on the DOJ case to get
started and use that pressure to get him to agree to withdraw his
renewal application and agree to stay away from transmitting equipment.

Either way, time is on their side and he's being rather well behaived
lately.

Now it's the crazy up north that needs to be dealt with next...

everthing I have heard said the FCC did not want the citation issued
but somebody did not get the memo

hard to believe the DoJ will bother with the case anything K1MAN seems
to be accused of is pretty minor in view of the outer world the most
troubling to me is the charge he interferesed emergency trafic

not sure that time is on the FCC's side (or on K1MAN's either)

Now it's the crazy up north that needs to be dealt with next...

Ummm.. That's not on the list of charges I've seen in the NAL for
K1MAN..

Perhaps you are confused with the guy in CA who interfered with a coast
guard operation?

Didn't see that in the NAL.. Didn't that happen years ago? (Trying to
sweep off the dust on the Mexico City Quake..) If so, it is not what
the NAL was charging him with.

They are dealing only with the offences on Nov 27, 2004; Dec 3, 2004;
and March 31, 2005 which where directly observed by FCC agents.
