The Baxter MAN is the god of the two-way. 10-4.
We love him on the 11 meter flip-flop. 10-4.
If you hammies don't want him we will gladly give
him a home on Channel 26. We all know he belongs
there. And thats the biggest 10-4 of them all!

K1MAN's program is GOOD, and should be left alone. If he has to go,

does
W1AW. Enough said, I have spoken. This is the way it WILL be.

I beg to differ. ARRL is within the guidelines of Part 97 of
the Commission's rules and. last I checked, knows that the frequency
is clear before starting their programs. Also, it's widely known and
accepted that W!AW has scheduled "All Station" announcements as well
as Code practice. All within the bounds of the rules.
K1MAN, as I understand it, doesn't care about if the frequency
is is use and walks over everyone in an attempt to gain financially
from selling his equipment over the air.

You have in basically correct Dan. K1MAN, is a radio bully. He seems
to
think that whatever he does, thinks, or wants to do takes priority over
everyone and everything else. Case in point...

For a period of about 2 years K1MAN vacated the frequency of 14.275.
During
that time several stations began operating there. One day up comes Glen
Baxter and he tells us to get off because it is time for his broadcast.
He
didn't ask, he didn't even attempt to be polite. He just decided it was
time to resume his trashcasting on ''HIS" frequency. A major fight
erupted
and the latest FCC action against him is the result of it.

Recently he decided to finally move off of the GA Sideband net frequency
of
3975, he moved up the band a bit and ordered the UFO network to get off
his
frequency. Same same from Baxter boy.

Several years before he had a major fight with the 3975 crowd.
Unfortunatly
the rebels capitulated.

Mr. Baxter is 'real popular' with the AM crowd in New England. Ask
them
about his ''full carrier AM'' signal on 3890 nightly.

Dan - Glenn has been running over nets and broadcasting inappropriate junk
so long (in 1998 he was wiping out the Sunday morning Bermuda Net on
14.275mHz) that I begin to wonder if current FCC people realize that it
has
been 17 years or more since the FCC was first going to fix the problem.
Baxter is not only a domestic problem, but an international embarrassment.
Hams in other countries are incredulous that the FCC cannot or will not do
something about him.

Oh I know......I've been aware of MAN and his antics for many many years.
In fact I just turned on my 20 meter rig and I had it on 14.275....guess
what ? MAN must have decided to move back to 275 from 272.....but this
time he is playing THREE SEPERATE TAPES at the same time. I guess this is
his version of ''simotrash', eh?

Dear Ted,



I am faxing a transcript of the broadcast put out by K1MAN last week.



When you have read this I would like to have a meeting with you, maybe we could have lunch and discuss it then, to fill you in on what actually happened.



Your support with this would be appreciated. I have been to the American Consulate and will be writing a formal letter of complaint this week, requesting a public apology from K1MAN. He is advocating that I should lose my license for NOT passing third party traffic when the "world needed to know" and he had declared an emergency. He was doing this under the authority of the "FCC" according to him. I reminded him that we were not a State of the United States of America and that we were governed by the Department of Telecommunications and also the British arrangements for third party traffic. He could declare whatever he wanted to but until we had clearance, we would not pass it



No emergency had been declared and as far as we were concerned it was an unofficial net standing by in case we were needed should an emergency be declared. He did not like being informed that we were handling the situation ourselves very efficiently, without his help.



Please telephone me when it is convenient and I will explain more, or as I said, maybe we could have lunch.



Yours sincerely,



[AS] VP9--

This is a response to the editorial broadcast

by K1MAN after Hurricane Dean.



STATEMENT

K1MAN stated "IARN activated for Hurricane Dean as it neared Bermuda, Sunday August 6th. 1989 at 11.30 UTC. IARN Headquarters in Belgrade Lakes etc. received a call from [TS], VP9--, requesting assistance from IARN on 14.275mHz. Tony wants to activate 14.275mHz. . .etc. "



FACT - At 11.15 UTC, VP9-- & VP9__ activated the Bermuda net.

A broadcast was in progress and VP9-- decided to telephone KlMAN.



"We want 14.275mHz cleared due to the impending Hurricane."



Response from Glen Baxter, "No problem" and the telephone conversation finished.



FACT - At no time was a request made for IARN to assist or to activate.



FACT - KlMAN checked into the Bermuda net at 11.45 UTC and he was informed, (as were many others who had checked in) of the current situation in Bermuda.



STATEMENT

"Associated Press and therefore the entire world, was, de facto, cut off from the world of public information dissemination.......... up to the minute detail report, now assured that ham radio and IARN had a well established and well maintained link to Bermuda"



FACT - Glen Baxter was not on a well maintained link to Bermuda. He checked in and was given information the same as many other hams. The so called emergency was K1MAN generated and not an emergency in Bermuda. The reports of lack of readiness at 20.00 UTC were absolute poppycock. All of this information had been issued by the Bermuda Hams between the hours of 11.15 UTC and 13.00 UTC that Bermuda had been well prepared.



STATEMENT

by Glen Baxter ".....festival the previous Thursday which included a soccer match between teams on either end of the Island."



FACT - Again, poppycock. K1MAN had been informed that the Cup Match was a cricket game between St. Georges and Somerset, had been played, the result was a draw and everyone had a good time. The match was on Thursday and Friday when the storm was hundreds of miles away. This Information had been given hours earlier.



FACT - IARU had generated an emergency, no one else. Totally uncalled for "here is the important news we gathered for Associated Press." IARN were more interested in promoting themselves and Glen Baxter in particular and when he found that he was not wanted on the net and did not have control of it he resorted to terminological inexactitudes to achieve his ends.



FACT - Glen Baxter relayed conversations he had with VP9-- to Associated Press without the consent or knowledge OF VP9-- at the time. This is in contravention of International Law.



As an American citizen he has no right to assume Governmental authority and issue edicts to hams in other countries. At no time can he advocate publicly that licenses should be revoked and should he have any complaints then these should be directed through the Department of Telecommunications in Bermuda. His pontificating on people's attitudes and his declarations of emergencies allows him to promote himself and his organization in such a way that his approach does sound plausible. As they say you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time and K1MAN does not fool any Bermuda Ham. His trip to Moscow paid for by the Young Communist League leaves one to suspect his motives and his reporting.
