It's never a good idea to use vigilante tactics to solve a problem. There
are rules for which all of us must abide. One of those rules is that we must not intentionally block or interfere with another transmission that is in progress. We must all share the frequencies in an orderly fashion. These are the rules. If we were to all ignore these rules and transmit whenever, however, and wherever we pleased, there would be mass chaos on most bands. The rules are structured and enforced by the FCC. I cannot condone any other approach to eliminating unruly examples like K1MAN--as frustrating as that approach may be. Wayne P.

It is FAR from over, after the FCC makes it's decision it goes to Court of Appeal where he can challenge the FCC rules and or decision. If he transmits, he will be unlicensed which can speed the process to the court systems like I said it's FAR from over. Todd N9OGL The N9OGL Show 14.321.00 Mhz Wayne Green had by far the best solution to the problem back in 1992: Wayne Green W2NSD/1 WGI Center Peterborough NH 03458 Sep. 13, 1992 "While I can appreciate your frustration with Baxter, which I share, your approach to disenfranchising him seems to indicate that you either do not read my editorials or at least don't remember them. I've God knows how many times been quite blunt about NOT annoying the FCC with our problems. That's not only a waste of time, it's downright dangerous... and can cause far more trouble than poor little Baxter. Please remember that we keep trying to convince the FCC that we are self-regulating. Note the term "self." If a few hams ever want to get rid of Baxter that's not all that difficult... and you don't even have to pay a hit man to clean off 14,275. All it takes is a little creativity and some coordinated effort. As a matter of fact it would be fun to wipe out Baxter. And you wouldn't even have to have a small group of like-minded hams drive to Maine with hack saws for his coax and tower or a concentrated campaign to turn his neighbors against him with propaganda. No, all it would take is a few hams with good signals and some coordination. I'm sure you can come up with much more fitting tortures for Baxter than anything I could dream up, but my mind turns to getting the channel about ten minutes before his broadcasts with my own anti-IARN broadcasts. I'll bet I could come up with some material which would burn Baxter, yet would not quite be actionable. Or I might tape one of his broadcasts and just repeat it as a "service" right on top of him and wipe him out. I've got as good a signal as anyone and I'm only a couple hundred miles from him. Knowing the love they have for him in Maine I'm sure you can find one, two or even three strong stations fairly near him to join in the effort to "help" him get his broadcasts out. Of course if you don't know anyone capable of outsmarting Baxter, then you have no choice but to give up and take up stamp collecting. Baxter may be loud, but I haven't yet seen any signs of a three digit IQ behind the mess he's been making for several years. If you do decide to actually do something instead of wasting your time on the FCC and ARRL, please let me know. " Cheers ... Wayne |

rec.radio.scanner: Well, you have a point. But I still like his hacksaw idea. A straight pin through the coax is more subtle - and a lot more difficult to diagnose. |

Muckleroy (KC8UIO) The rules should also apply to W1AW who has also caused malicious interference. The problem is W1AW is allowed to interfere with on going transmissions and K1MAN isn't. the rules should apply to all. One final note, rules are only valid until a court says otherwise.

A straight pin through the coax is more subtle - and a lot more difficult to diagnose. Maybe at one time, but many radio operators have taken steps to discourage such vandalism, such as running the coax via a path that is difficult to get to without being noticed. Besides, Baxter is probably someone that has video security around his station. Do you really think pinning his coax is something you actually think can feasibly be accomplished? |

This just shows how Wayne contradicts himself. Remember how he used to bitch about the mess on 14.313? Yet, he's advocating creating another mess under the guise of "self-policing"...and this is all coming from a guy who believes crackpot pseudo-scince, like electro-shock therapy, can cure AIDS, cancer, and even re-grow severed limbs. Obviously it couldn't cure stupid, as Wayne was a shining example. |

How about a grapple hook tied to a good strong truck, thrown quickly to the tower and it yanked down? "Possibly" done rather quickly and easily if one has a good throwing arm. OR how about a laser beam fired from a car on the street - using an AC Inverter for the power? Seriously though - if someone wanted to "really" take him or his transmitter out - it could be done. No one is safe in this day and age. Hang in there, the FCC will do it..... I've seen them bust others and haul all the equipment away - towers included. jm |

OK, so let's idolize K1DUDE and follow his example. We'll all start ignoring
the rules and do as we please as long as we can get away with it. Before long, all amateur bands would be reduced to a bunch of "Citizen's Bands." "N9OGL" wrote in message ups.com... Wayne P.
