Riley to K1MAN..."No sell"
Remeber when I said that the FCC had "future enforcement
actions" with K1MAN? Here's the most recent letter to the guy from Riley: October 29, 2004 Mr. Glenn A. Baxter RR 1 Box 776 Belgrade Lakes, ME 04918 Warning Notice: Amateur Radio license K1MAN Case #EB-2004-07 Dear Mr. Baxter: On September 15, 2004, we notified you that we had received approximately a dozen complaints that your Amateur radio station's transmissions started while the communications of individual operators and groups such as the Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Net, which was handling health and welfare traffic for this season's hurricane victims, were ongoing. The letter cited an April 14, 2004 warning issued to you about your transmissions starting while existing communications were ongoing, and warning you that your publishing a "transmission schedule" does not give you the right to begin transmitting on a certain frequency at a certain time if there are ongoing communications on that frequency. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Section 308(b), we requested you to respond to the letter within 20 days from receipt certifying: 1) what action(s) you are taking to correct the deficiencies in the operation of your station; and 2) specifying what method of station control you have implemented for your Amateur radio station transmissions. Your response dated October 14, 2004, in which you stated that "No corrective actions are necessary at K1MAN" and "No changes are needed with regard to station control..." failed to furnish the information requested by the Commission. In addition to the above mentioned complaints, we have received additional complaints of interference from your station's transmissions starting at 9:31 PM on 3.890 MHz on October 16, 2004; 6:23 PM on 3.800 MHz and 7:59 PM on 3.977 on October 19, 2004; and 7:59 PM on 3.977 MHz on October 20, 2004. We also note that, according to your web page, your station now transmits on 14.275 MHz from 11 PM until past 6 PM the following day. We are affording you an additional 20 days from receipt of this letter to furnish the information requested in our September 15, 2004 letter. Additionally, pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, you are requested to provide the name, call sign, and address of the control operator(s) on the additional dates and times mentioned above (9:31 PM on 3.890 MHz on October 16, 2004; 6:23 PM on 3.800 MHz and 7:59 PM on 3.977 on October 19, 2004; and 7:59 PM on 3.977 MHz on October 20, 2004), and to describe the method of station control used each time the station was transmitting. You are also requested to furnish that information for the 19 hour transmissions recently begun on 14.275 MHz. In an inquiry of this type we are required to notify you that a willfully false or misleading reply constitutes a separate violation made punishable under United States Code Title 18, Section 1001. Failure to reply also constitutes a separation violation of Commission rules.

OK, I can understand if you're a K1MAN supporter and I'm not even going to question that right of yours, but, if you got some flame against me for relaying an enforcement letter that leads this Ham to believe that Riley's about had enough of K1MAN's alleged flaunting of FCC regulations and the interference that he has been alleged to cause to the Boy Scouts and others, then, do so. It's public knowledge that there's a lot of people that are upset at K1MAN. There were 45 pages of comments on QRZ.com and the vast majority basicalloy said that QRZ was within their rights, and that Glen Baxter should take a hike. -- Dan, KD8AGU Please remove ".nospam" to reply via email. |

We don't need an "insider" to keep us up to speed. OK, I can understand if you're a K1MAN supporter Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not a K1MAN supporter. I also feel what ND8V and WD4AWO are doing by jamming warrants letters from Riley also. 2 wrongs don't make a right. and I'm not even going to question that right of yours, but, if you got some flame against me for relaying an enforcement letter that leads this Ham to believe that Riley's about had enough of K1MAN's alleged flaunting of FCC regulations and the interference that he has been alleged to cause to the Boy Scouts and others, You know, as well as most on here with an open mind, that the Boy Scouts were setup to take the fall. If you can't see that, you're blinded with rage about K1MAN. Keep in mind, I'm not a K1MAN supporter. then, do so. It's public knowledge that there's a lot of people that are upset at K1MAN.

So what if there were 45 pages at QRZ, big deal! QRZ doesn't make the rules, or enforce the rules. QRZ is a private web site, and Fred can run as he sees fit. If he wishes to conduct meaningless polls on his site, that's his business. The opinions of others, does not influence my position on K1MAN. If, and I say IF, K1MAN is indeed in violation of the current FCC rules, they will deal with it. Not Mikey, Bobby, you, or QRZ.Com. I heard Fat Mikey say on 14.272 today, to another ham, if you don't like what he (ND8V) is saying, spin the dial. Fat Mikey should heed his own advice. Pot, kettle, black. |

Baxter's affected first name is spelled "Glenn." I.'m sure all the Glen's of this world would appreciate the disassociation of their name with this rascal and would like you to use the correct spelling of his name. Rest assured, we all know of whom you are discussing, so the spelling is a trivial matter. I hope this doesn't start a large number of court petitions for name changes from Glenn to Glen after the FCC finally takes action and Baxter makes the news. ak |

It sounds like QRZ isn't the only organization that's about to take Baxter
off their list. Let's see, how many decades did it take to do the obvious? ak "Splinter" wrote in message ... Remeber when I said that the FCC had "future enforcement actions" with K1MAN?

The impression I got is that he's patient, to a point, then, if his patience runs out with someone, then, things get very uncomfortable. I suspect that the next series of emforcement letters won't be asking for an explaination, but, more along the lines of a NAL telling him to caugh up a decent amount of dough, or maybe accompanied with an in rem seizure. But, I'm not going to second-guess the next move as that's up to K1MAN. -- Dan, KD8AGU Please remove ".nospam" to reply via email. |

If the FCC does that, then they need to head directly on over to W1AW, and do the exact same. Maybe I'm nieve(sp), but I thought the guys at W1AW would move up or down the band some to avoid QRMing someone (that they can hear, there is a rule saying "listen before you transmit"). Hams know to look up or down the band if they don't find W1AW on the expected frequency. |

Hams know to look up or down the band if they don't find W1AW on the expected frequency. I've been in RTTY QSO, when W1AW came on, and wiped us out, so no, they don't always listen. The problem I have is there are about 3 to 6 so called "hams" that hang around MAN's published frequencies waiting for his broadcast to start. Then they start bitching about MAN QRM'ing them. The main problem on 20M is Fat Ass Mikey ND8V, and dumb ass Bobbie WD4AWO, not K1MAN. Keep in mind, I DO NOT support K1MAN, but at the same time I damn sure DO NOT support what the Tennessee Toilet Tick (WD4AWO) and the Kalamazoo Cuckoo (ND8V) are doing either. If Mikey and friends don't like what is going on, on 14.275, well like Fat Ass Mikey likes to say, "Turn the damn dial". |
