For The Benefit Of Lloydie and Toddie
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! Steve, K4YZ 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. |
