I almost forgot to mention... I received a nice letter from K4KNO supporting the petion to deny.
Anthony writes:
"I believe K1MAN is a menace to society, and his broadcasts are not needed on the Amateur frequencies. The manner in which he conducts his operations are not in the interest of amateur radio. I feel equipment confiscation (and I mean all such as radios, towers, tools, components, anything to make a transmitter) should be confiscated... Also jail time is appropriate in a Federal pen. And not one that has an easy lifestyle, I mean a real hard core pen. About ten years should teach him how real amateurs act.
Respectfully, Anthony J Leone Jr. K4KNO"
Thanks Anthony, I couldn't have said it better!

And here's another nice letter from W7KKW:
John writes from Phoenix,
"K1MAN should NOT have an Amateur Radio License. He is a disgrace to ham radio and is contantly breaking the law. He makes one way broadcasts and willfully interferes with other stations who are operating legally.
Sincerely Yours,
John T. Null W7KKW"
Thanks for a powerfully written letter John!

>:(It's about time for the Commission to pony up and do something about this daily intrusion of the AM window, namely the so-called "K1MAN Amateur Bulletin Service and Talk Show". To me it's an "infomercial" pushing the AARA and his Credit Cards and his so-called "alternative to ARRL". While I have some reservations about the ARRL, I truly believe that they are legitimately trying to advance the Amateur service. They've been at it for decades. On the other hand, I question what Mr. Baxter's true agenda is about Amateur Radio. To me it seems like he only wants to make a point (or for the better term, a "pi**ing contest") in the face of the ARRL and mainly to spit on Riley Hollingsworth. Really now, I can think of better things to do with my time and money than to listen to the nonsense of these daily diatribes. I have heard these AARA AM broadcasts on 3890, magically stepping over a QSO already in progress. As you know, the AM Window is a very small piece of spectrum and I've heard these K1MAN broadcasts splattering from 3890 down a few kc's for hours at a time. Since I have a rather wideband tuner, the rest of the 80 meter AM window is unusable at times during these broadcasts.
The comparison of W1AW and K1MAN is like comparing apples to oranges. W1AW has a very strict sked and "right to the point" job of providing code practice and amateur bulletin for the amateur public. K1MAN is a long-form infomercial that, unlike W1AW, is an "in your face" type of broadcast. Frankly, I find them to be rather unprofessional. He's had ample opportunity to clean up his act. But enough is enough. Clean it up or shut up.
Respectfully,
Peter Q. George (K1XRB)

Keith et al,
I have all ready written the engineer -in-charge at the FCC in Quincy. First I applauded their actions, then suggested they stay steadfast in their convictions.
I believe the FCC will take no action renewing K1MAN's license pending any monitary forfiture unpaid. Flat out- K1MAN will have to pay the $21,000 to stay on the air after October 17th.
Right wrong or otherwise....he's off the air legally come Oct 17th and until such time that the entire issue is resolved. That could be years.
However the most important thing everyone is missing is Glen Baxters postings and announcements whereby he incriminates himself. Let me give you an example:
He claims the documents he provided the FCC regarding his station layout is complete and legal. He describes his 3 transmitters, antennas and such...
YET FAILS to mention RECEIVERS - the very thing necessary to monitor before transmitting. He also fails to describe the ability to shift frequency, specifying single operating frequencies for each transmitter. CLEARLY a description of a broadcast station.
Secondly at his website he published reasons others should move from his published frequencies at designated times.. A Broadcast schedule...
He himself has hung himself out to dry....
RIP K1MAN
We should petition the FCC to hold the call after the 2 year grace period so it doesn't get re-issued.
Follow the money.........

FYI- I have been to W1AW twice in 15 years. Each time prior to transmitting, they did listen and once adjusted accordingly. They may no do it 100% of the time, but the 2 days I was there they did. Show- no good operating proceedures.
I may be biased, the ARRL is to Amateur Radio as the Boy Scouts, NRA and a hundered other groups promote overall good morals within their area of interest. Name a sucessful interest group that does not promote good morals....PETA for one, like K1MAN lashes out at every opportunity it gets. Yet the best groups are the ones you never hear from like the Shriners...look at the good they do every year and the $$$ they spend doing it.

"What if he causes a case to be heard [he will] and thus closes some of those loopholes? He may very well then have the ammo he may want to go after the ARRL, forcing them off the air with their code practices and bulletins" [We can only hope] I know this is just speculation, but .... consider it.
Well, I guess we should not go after terrorists, because what if we will only anger and motovate them. We should not go after criminals, bacuase they might bring a case declairing other conduct unlawful. We should not go after bad behavior bacause it might make some people unhappy and motovate them to ingage in more bad behavior.
I say prosecute him and YANK HIS LICENSE. I say, let him try to defend his actions before the FCC. Then let him appeal to the court of appeals. I say let his behavior be an example to others that might follow in his footsteps.

"What if he causes a case to be heard [he will] and thus closes some of those loopholes? He may very well then have the ammo he may want to go after the ARRL, forcing them off the air with their code practices and bulletins" [We can only hope] I know this is just speculation, but .... consider it. Actually, I filed a Petition for Rulemaking several years ago, calling for the FCC to eliminate all "information bulletin" transmissions on HF phone. The Commission never issued an RM number, nor was this ever put up for public comment. While the W1AW Bulletins are much less obnoxious than Baxter's infomercials, they still tie up valuable frequencies in the most congested parts of our HF phone bands. The League's insistence on using a key frequency in the 40 meter AM window does not earn W1AW any points with us AM'ers, either. The information in the ARRL Bulletins may easily be obtained from the Internet. For those who do not have computers, many public libraries have computers with public Internet access. The bottom line is that broadcasting belongs on frequencies allocated to that service under Part 73 of the FCC Rules. There are at least 27 privately-owned shortwave broadcast stations in this country. Most of them sell time in blocks and the rates are very reasonable. Many are not above selling time to such charlatans as our "friend" in Belgrade Lakes, Maine. The ARRL could and should explore the idea of distributing a short amateur radio bulletin to regular domestic broadcast stations via satellite or other means. Many smaller AM stations might even run such a program for free as a public service, since the League is incorporated as a nonprofit organization and many broadcast engineers are hams. Meanwhile, the grant of the renewal of the K1MAN license has been set aside by the FCC and the renewal application has reverted to a "pending" status. Unless the FCC formally denies the application, K1MAN can still legally operate past the expiration date of the license, since the renewal application was filed in a timely manner. The FCC will probably deny the application if Baxter does not pay the $21,000 fine within the prescribed time frame. Or the application may be designated for a hearing, especially since a Petition to Deny has been filed against it. Will the FCC get this pest off the air? Stay tuned.........................

His paranoid delusional website does indicate he'll be back on with his "broadcasts" in October - something about spending the summer saving mankind with emergency comm activities, or some such. Wonder if he wears a SpiderMan costume, or perhaps a Captain Marvel outfit when he sez "Walter!"
Meanwhile the legal stuff will proceed apace and before long we may likely witness the fellow in question being carted away in a canvas jacket...
I've witnessed many of his arrogant, delusional and psychotically misinformed efforts on the air, including his use of the Cronkite ID, actively promoting his business affairs on his 20 meter broadcashs, among others, not to mention the interference and his rush to sue other radio amateurs and concoct his malarkey "felony affidavits". Good riddance to a real irritant, and may the visiting hours at the psychiatric hospital to which he will likely be confined, be limited.

I have just arrived at our new QTH here in New Mexico. The furniture, computers, and my law office stuff will arrive tomorrow. Once unpacked and operational, I'll finish up my rough draft of the K1MAN Petition to Deny for you to look at and so you can offer your opinion as to format and content. Keith, W7DXX Say Keith; So whats the game plan ? are you sending this to the FCC or the courts ? kinda curious. I am just watching to see what happens, after all this is a court case now .

Well, it's the second night in a row K1MAN has not been on 3890. So much for "publishing a schedule and sticking to it." Say No 2 K1MAN! Is anyone selling T-Shirts yet? K3VR Would this be considered a collectors item say in 20 years or more?

I can't believe Baxter is still pretending he has some sort of emergency organization. New Orleans is in ruins, he's not on the air, and he's sending out email telling people to pass emergency traffic by calling his phone number. He doesn't even have an 800 number anymore. What kind of idiot behaves like that?
