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. |

On the positive side, the April 14th letter informs K1MAN that a review of his transmissions indicates that he is complying with the Amateur Service regulations regarding broadcasting and bulletins and station control. The negative? The FCC alleges that K1MAN is in violation of rules regarding use of his Amateur station for pecuniary interest and those regarding deliberate interference to ongoing communications. Also, the letter again told Baxter that his "felony affidavit complaints" will not be accepted by the regulatory agency. He was also reminded that all frequencies in the Amateur Radio Service are shared.

note has both good and bad news for the Belgrade Lakes, Maine radio amateur. On the positive side, the April 14th letter informs K1MAN that a review of his transmissions indicates that he is complying with the Amateur Service regulations regarding broadcasting and bulletins and station control. So my take on this is the the full Commission got on the Enforcement Bureau ass for violating the content control rules. The negative? The FCC alleges that K1MAN is in violation of rules regarding use of his Amateur station for pecuniary interest and those regarding deliberate interference to ongoing communications So they are trying something else..

HERE'S ANOTHER.......
April 14, 2004 Mr. Glenn A. Baxter RR 1 Box 776 Belgrade Lakes, ME 04918 Amateur Radio license K1MAN Dear Mr. Baxter: This letter explains in what ways your Amateur station has come into compliance with Commission rules since our letter to you of January 29, 2002; and notifies you of two areas of operation that, if not corrected, will lead to enforcement action against your license and/or designation of your renewal application for a hearing. By letter dated January 29, 2002, the Commission notified you that your understanding of various Amateur Radio Service rules was incorrect. We outlined your apparent misconceptions regarding station control, publishing a transmitting schedule and how that related to interference, threats made to licensee complainants, including threats made with so-called "felony complaint affidavits", broadcasting and broadcasting of tape recordings and telephone conversations. The January 29 letter detailed complaints received by the Commission, and explained that your method of station control, i.e., "a timer from Radio Shack", did not achieve compliance with the Commission's Rules when you were not present at the control point for your station and, therefore, did not satisfy the Commission's Rules regarding automatic control of a station. We explained to you that to comply with the Commission's Rules you must be at the transmitter, or at the transmitter control point, every moment your station is transmitting when your station is locally or remotely controlled; and that if the station is controlled by telecommand from the control point using a radio link, the frequencies used for telecommand must comply with the Section 97.201 requirements for an auxiliary station (may transmit only on the 1.25 m and shorter wavelength bands, except 219-220, 222-222.150, 431-433 and 435-438 MHz segments). By letter dated March 4, 2003, the Commission's Boston Office notified you that Commission monitoring and numerous complaints filed with the Commission indicated that the problems outlined in January 2002 had not been corrected. The letter stated that your Amateur station was apparently being used for broadcasting various programs having nothing to do with Amateur Radio; and that transmissions from your station were being used for deliberate interference and for communications in which you apparently had a pecuniary interest. The Boston Office letter stated that transmissions started and ended erratically, were sometimes repetitive and abruptly ended with no identification as required by Commission rules, and that such operation indicated that the transmissions were not under proper control of a licensed operator. The letter noted also that you continually broadcast notices of so-called "felony complaint affidavits " that you claimed to have filed with the United States Justice Department against other Amateur Radio licensees whom you perceived to have interfered with your broadcasts, or refused to relinquish their operating frequency to you. The Boston Office's letter stated that transmissions from your Amateur station included references to a degree program and directed listeners to your website that advertised an "American Radio School Technician Degree in Electronics" for "$299.95". On that web site you solicited donations for radio equipment, advertised a credit card, and solicited donations and advertised for "IARN" and "AARA". The letter from the Boston office pointed out that such use of your station was in apparent violation of Section 97.113(a)(3) of the Commission's rules, which prohibits "Communications for hire or for material compensation, direct or indirect...." and "Communications in which the station licensee or control operator has a pecuniary interest..." The letter from the Boston Office requested that you provide substantial additional information about the operation of your station, including submission of a log detailing the information on a weekly basis until further notice. In January 2004, the Boston office notified you that you could discontinue the log submissions, and referred the case to this office. We have reviewed the information you submitted, as well as numerous complaints filed against your station. Additionally we have reviewed tape recordings made by Commission personnel of your transmissions at various times during 2003 and 2004 subsequent to the Boston Office letter of March 3, 2003. It is the finding of this office that you are, with some exceptions, generally in compliance with the Commission's rules in the Amateur Service related to broadcasting and information bulletins, and we explain as follows. Broadcasting is prohibited in the Amateur Radio Service, with some exceptions. Section 97.3(a)(10) defines broadcasting as "transmissions intended for reception by the general public, either direct or relayed." One-way transmissions are limited in the Amateur service, but an exception is allowed in Section 97.111(b)(6) for "Transmissions necessary to disseminate information bulletins." Information bulletins are defined by Section 97.3(a)(26) as messages "directed only to Amateur operators consisting solely of subject matter of direct interest to the Amateur service." There are no specific time limits placed upon information bulletins by Commission rules. A review of your programs at random times since March 3, 2003 indicates that your transmissions were directed to Amateur Radio operators, not to the general public, and that the individual bulletins were related to the Amateur Radio Service. The only notable exception was the offering of a reward for information leading to the identity of parties making threatening telephone calls to you. The station control problems outlined to you in warnings from the Commission appear, with minor exceptions, to have been corrected. During the monitoring period your station abruptly ended transmission with no identification in one instance, and started transmissions in mid-sentence in another instance. There are, however, two areas in the operation of your Amateur station that must be corrected in order to avoid enforcement action and/or a designation of your renewal application for hearing to determine if you are qualified to remain a licensee. These a 1) deliberate interference resulting from your commencing operation on top of ongoing communications, in violation of Section 97.101(a) and (d); and 2) use of your Amateur station for pecuniary interests, in violation of Sections 97.113(a)(2)and (3). Regarding deliberate interference, we receive continuing complaints, and our monitoring verifies, that your transmissions start up on top of existing communications of individual licensees as well as nets such as the Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network. Such operation constitutes deliberate interference. Stations engaging in ongoing communications are not obligated to stop transmitting when K1MAN wants to start transmitting on a frequency, and complainants are so advised by the Commission. You appear to believe that the publication of a transmission schedule gives you the right to begin transmitting on a certain frequency at a certain time, even if the frequency is occupied. It does not. All frequencies in the Amateur Radio Service are shared--no frequency is assigned for the exclusive use of any station, and your Amateur station has no greater rights to a frequency at any particular time than any other Amateur station. Section 97.101(d) of the rules prohibits an Amateur station from willfully or maliciously interfering with any radio communication or signal. Moreover, publishing a schedule is merely one of the several conditions necessary for the control operator of a club station to accept compensation for transmitting information bulletins, pursuant to Section 97.113(d) of the Commission's rules. Your station K1MAN, however, is not a club station. Regarding use of an Amateur station for pecuniary interest, we note that your Amateur Radio program transmissions regularly advertise your web page at www.K1man.com, and on those pages you advertise items for sale by the American Amateur Radio Association (AARA), including T shirts, hats and a "Technician Degree Diploma". You advertise the sales commissions and "overrides" that your State Directors and Section Managers can receive, and detail ways in which your Section Managers can earn money by recruiting members, selling hats, name badges or T shirts. Section 97.113(a)(2) prohibits communications for hire or for material compensation, direct or indirect, paid or promised. Section 97.113(a)(3) prohibits communications in which the station licensee or control operator has a pecuniary interest. We remind you that any attempts to threaten or intimidate Amateur radio licensees operating on the Amateur bands will reflect adversely upon your qualifications to remain a Commission licensee, and would be the subject of a license revocation or renewal hearing. By letter dated December 11, 2001, you were warned against the sending of your so-called "felony complaint affidavits" to various Amateur Radio licenses that you perceive to either cause interference to your station or which do not relinquish to you the frequency on which they are operating. Complainants were advised by the Commission to forward any such "affidavits" they received to the Commission, and that they could otherwise be ignored. The United States Attorney for your jurisdiction also warned you that the mailing of such "affidavits" is contrary to law. Apparently you have discontinued those threats. We also remind you that, in regard to the taping and broadcasting of telephone calls, you must comply with applicable state laws. In conclusion, failure to correct the deliberate interference caused by K1MAN, and the continued use of K1MAN for pecuniary interests, will lead to enforcement action against your license. Either would be sufficient to designate your renewal application for an evidentiary hearing to determine if you are qualified to remain a Commission licensee. An adverse finding in regard to threats to complainant licensees, or violation of state law regarding recording and broadcasting telephone conversations, would lead to enforcement action against your license and would be sufficient to designate your renewal application for an evidentiary hearing to determine if you are qualified to remain a Commission licensee. You would have the burden of proof in such a proceeding. You should be aware that in 1990, the Commission revised its character qualifications policy, expanding the types of non-FCC-related misconduct that it would consider as bearing on licensee or applicant character qualifications (Policy Regarding Character Qualifications in Broadcast Licensing, Policy Statement and Order, 5 FCC RCD 3252 (1990) (Character Policy Statement), recon. granted in part, denied in part, 6 FCC Rcd 3448 (1991), further recon. granted, 7 FCC Rcd 6564 (1992). The Commission concluded that "a propensity to comply with the law generally is relevant to the Commission's public interest analysis, and that an applicant's or licensee's willingness to violate other laws, and, in particular, to commit felonies, also bears on our confidence that an applicant or licensee will conform to FCC rules and policies. The 1990 Character Policy Statement applies to Amateur Radio licensees just as it does to all other FCC licensees ( See, e.g., Herbert L. Schoenbohm, Decision, 13 FCC Rcd 15028 (1998), recon. denied, 13 FCC Rcd 23774 (1998), aff'd in part, dismissed in part sub nom. Schoenbohm v. FCC, 204 F.3d 243 (2000), cert. denied, 121 S.

Brewer, Order to Show Cause, Notice of Order of Suspension, Notice of Opportunity for Hearing, and Notice of Apparent Liability for a Forfeiture, 16 FCC Rcd 5671, licenses revoked, 16 FCC Rcd 12878 (2001). Accordingly, we will continue to review the operation of K1MAN in light of the issues outlined above. CC: FCC Northeastern Regional Director FCC Boston Office District Director Honorable Paula D.

Interfernce is one thing but the content of the station is another....1. I'm not interferning with any station, 2. I'm not recording any telephone calls, and 3. I'm not doinbg anything of a Pecuniary Interest, my programsm are only directed to the amateur radio service and thus, legal!! So how do you know you are not interfering with anyone since you are making one-way transmissions? And what are you doing about collecting a rebate for the English portions of your soon-to-be-finished "college" education? This by the way is a warning letter. Yep. It sure was. And it was proof of exactly what I had been saying about Baxter's track record of misconduct on the air and his frequent run-in's with the FCC. At some point in time the camel's back will have exceeded it's load carrying capability...then plop...straw all over the place... So far your rants have only substantiated EXACTLY what I have said about parallels between you and Baxter. Why aren't you paying attention? Steve, K4YZ |
So true, because as you said
"If I had my radio hooked up I would check in...." so you can't get on the lib net,and you can't cause Interfernce! Your radio's not hooked up, you inventions aren't listed, you're here all day posting bs. Why not just get an FRS radio and do your brodcast on it?

April 14, 2004 Mr. Glenn A. Baxter RR 1 Box 776 Belgrade Lakes, ME 04918 Amateur Radio license K1MAN BUNCH OF STUFF SNIPPED: In conclusion, failure to correct the deliberate interference caused by K1MAN, and the continued use of K1MAN for pecuniary interests, will lead to enforcement action against your license. Either would be sufficient to designate your renewal application for an evidentiary hearing to determine if you are qualified to remain a Commission licensee. An adverse finding in regard to threats to complainant licensees, or violation of state law regarding recording and broadcasting telephone conversations, would lead to enforcement action against your license and would be sufficient to designate your renewal application for an evidentiary hearing to determine if you are qualified to remain a Commission licensee. You would have the burden of proof in such a proceeding. You should be aware that in 1990, the Commission revised its character qualifications policy, expanding the types of non-FCC-related misconduct that it would consider as bearing on licensee or applicant character qualifications (Policy Regarding Character Qualifications in Broadcast Licensing, Policy Statement and Order, 5 FCC RCD 3252 (1990) (Character Policy Statement), recon. granted in part, denied in part, 6 FCC Rcd 3448 (1991), further recon. granted, 7 FCC Rcd 6564 (1992).

So how do you know you are not interfering with anyone since you
are making one-way transmissions? I pick a unused frequency and ask three times if the frequency is in use? if no one answers I uses it, Unlike K1MAN and W1AW who just begins transmitting. If you don't answer or I don't hear then then too bad, I'm using the frequency. Yep. It sure was. And it was proof of exactly what I had been saying about Baxter's track record of misconduct on the air and his frequent run-in's with the FCC It seems to me that you 1. don't really know what an warning letter is or 2. don't know how the FCC process works. So far your rants have only substantiated EXACTLY what I have said about parallels between you and Baxter. Why aren't you paying attention? In what way???? The FCC if you didn't read stated: "It is the finding of this office that you are, with some exceptions, generally in compliance with the Commission's rules in the Amateur Service related to broadcasting and information bulletins, and we explain as follows. Broadcasting is prohibited in the Amateur Radio Service, with some exceptions. Section 97.3(a)(10) defines broadcasting as "transmissions intended for reception by the general public, either direct or relayed." One-way transmissions are limited in the Amateur service, but an exception is allowed in Section 97.111(b)(6) for "Transmissions necessary to disseminate information bulletins." Information bulletins are defined by Section 97.3(a)(26) as messages "directed only to Amateur operators consisting solely of subject matter of direct interest to the Amateur service." There are no specific time limits placed upon information bulletins by Commission rules. A review of your programs at random times since March 3, 2003 indicates that your transmissions were directed to Amateur Radio operators, not to the general public, and that the individual bulletins were related to the Amateur Radio Service. The only notable exception was the offering of a reward for information leading to the identity of parties making threatening telephone calls to you." you can't get it through you dumb**** head that my Information Bulletins ae LEGAL!!!!!!!! |
