K1MAN gets slapped down

[W5GA]

From the ARRL letter:

US District Court for Maine Issues Order Granting Summary Judgment against Glenn Baxter, K1MAN
On January 10, the US District Court for Maine issued a ruling in the FCC's lawsuit to collect monetary forfeitures issued to Glenn Baxter, K1MAN, of Belgrade Lakes, Maine. The FCC had assessed forfeitures in the amount of $21,000 against Baxter (http://www.arrl.org/news/us-charges-k1man-with-failure-to-pay-fine) on three asserted violations of the Communications Act of 1934 and its regulations: Failure to respond to an FCC inquiry in violation of Title 47, Section 308 of the US Code (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode47/usc_sec_47_00000308----000-.html), willful or malicious interference with other radio transmissions in violation of Section 97.101(d) (http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=47ae9117aa64a743f2bdfb3db7c32da6&rgn=div8&view=text&node=47:5.0.1.1.6.2.157.1&idno=47), and engaging in communications in which he has a pecuniary interest in violation of Section 97.113(a)(3) (http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=47ae9117aa64a743f2bdfb3db7c32da6&rgn=div8&view=text&node=47:5.0.1.1.6.2.157.7&idno=47).
Chief US District Judge John A. Woodcock Jr, in writing for the Court, agreed with the FCC on the first two counts -- willful or repeated failure to respond to FCC requests for information, and willful or malicious interference -- and granted summary judgments to the FCC in the amount of $3000 and $7000, respectively. On the third claim -- communications in which an amateur station licensee or control operator has a pecuniary interest -- the Court declined to grant a summary judgment to the FCC, holding that there were issues of material fact to be litigated in the Court in later proceedings.

SHAM WOW!

[VE7DCW]

Damn ....... you mean this could be the end of Baxter's AARA credit cards offering deep discounts by participating merchants to cardholders??

say it aint so?? :muhahaha:

I'll turn my card in tomorrow :rofl:

I never had the card to turn in xD As well as the Mr. Kooky Canadian Distress card xD :lol: :spin:

Well... as has been pointed out elsewhere, this is a hit, a big hit. But not neccesarily a fatal hit.

Sooner or later, though, the issue of his pending license renewal will come into play. If I understand the procedures correctly, and I may be wrong... if Baxter doesn't pay the fine, his renewal will not be processed. Right now, I believe it's still in "limbo".

At some point, one would think that the non-payment would move the renewal into the "fuggedaboudit" category. But once the lawyers get involved, you never know.

According to the Zed database, his call sign will be forfeited within the next 30 days, which would make it available for re-issue. I'd pity the new General who got that one assigned.

I had a psk qso with a gent who had a call very similar, and he always has issues with people not wanting to have a qso because of it.

I'd pity the new General who got that one assigned.If you want a vanity call these days, you not only need to check on its availability, you also need to do a Google search to verify the call is not "poisoned". Certain calls will produce tens of thousands of potentially embarrassing hits because of their previous holders. The FCC should have a program to permanently retire certain abused calls, or at least put them on ice until a couple of decades have passed! :)

Since the FCC has not begun sequentially reissuing the currently unassigned K & W 1x3 calls, I wouldn't worry about this one for quite awhile.

[KA2QFX]

30 days? As of this date we are still "enjoying" his interference on 3.890 daily. He's playing recordings from 10-15 years past. As well as the usual drivel. Sad.

Let's face the reality. Baxter will be broadcasting on the air until the day he dies or until they physically cart his equipment away and toss him into jail. People like Baxter live in their own deluded world. As far as Baxter is concerned he has done no wrong. As far as he is concerned the FCC, and everyone else is wrong and he is right. He will simply ignore any fines or judgments against him and keep on doing his thing as he has been. And why shouldn't he ? So far it is working very well for him.

[w2amr]

Put him in jail with the underwear bomber.

I like this part of his webpage


"NOT SO FAST, DR. EINSTEIN"
by Glenn A. Baxter, P.E

Absolute disproof of Special Relativity

Apparently at some point Mr. Baxter has shown Einstein was wrong. But there seems to be no longer a link to the article. It would have made for some awesome comedy.

I'm not surprised, seeing how the Special Theory of Relativity has held up to every test ever applied to it. Funny how Baxter never mentions that in his "analysis."

[VE7DCW]

Wow !! ... how time flies!! Baxter's kiss of death day where he must have his $10,000 fine paid is fast approaching (march 22 2012) ..... he says he'll see them in court first. Now if I understand correctly if he does'nt pay the fine by the 22nd of march his licence renewal becomes null and void and he'll no longer be legally permitted to operate as an Amateur radio station ...... everyone kiss K1MAN goodbye? :pray:

[W7XF]

Not only that, but (hopefully) a warrant for his arrest for disobeying a lawful order of the court.

[kb2vxa]

"...... everyone kiss K1MAN goodbye?"
I'd rather kiss a pig's ass with bleeding ulcerated hemorrhoids!

Wouldn't it be nice if the FCC were were bolder
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to QSO together
In the kind of world where we belong

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice

[kb2vxa]

"If he doesn't pay, they'll dismiss his renewal and yank his ticket, supposedly."
The operative word here is supposedly, he claims it's illegal as long as the case is in litigation (he's right on that, Cheryl's letter was wrong) and doncha know, he'll keep it in litigation until the cows come home. Tomorrow will tell, keep checking the database and frankly I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps right on truckin' anyway.

You mean besides playing the FCC this turd also plays guitar? Oh and WTF is galacticly? For such a learned man he needs to learn how to spell galactically.

[VE7DCW]

As I post this it is now March 22nd and info I've been able to get is Baxter has not,and furthur refuses to pay his $10,000 fine....... I say game over!

Baxter has screwed himself ........ royally! :spin:

So ? that's not going to stop him. As far as Baxter is concerned he is right and everyone else is 100% wrong. He could care less if they pull his ticket. He will remain on the air doing his daily broadcasts as K1MAN. Baxter lives in his own world.

John has it correct. What the amateur community has on its hand is essentially another Jammin' Jack.

[N7YA]

He is essentially a whackjob CBer with ham gear. "His" frequencies should be avoided and he should be ignored.

No, he's probably not going to stay on air with his call if they cancel his license. What he may end up doing is enlisting the help of friends and doing a phone patch. The bulletins will continue, just not under that callsign.

[VE7DCW]

What I found totally funny was the fact that the lady at the FCC who wrote out Baxter's "Notice of withholding of Action" letter is a Cheryl A. COLLINS ! .....the irony of it .... all wiped out by someone of the same name as his favourite radio brand!!! ..... :rofl:

Can he not be ignored? How many frequencies does he take over at one time? I think we, as a ham community at large, are giving this guy waaaaay too much run. He should run for office.
