GUEST EDITORIAL
Greetings from Europe. My name is Anthony Smith, a very active Radio Amateur over here. I have been listening with interest to K1MAN’s bulletin service since its comeback after almost 4 years of complete silence. What’s with that? I really don’t wish to engage in the K1MAN debate, but I do believe Glenn is within his rights. Sure, it’s a big deal to transmit 24 hours per day on an international band such as 20 meters or even simulcast 80 meters as K1MAN does now, 365 days per year starting last July. He runs anything available of interest to the Radio Amateur or submitted to K1MAN for airing. If you write him a nasty e-mail, he sends a nasty e-mail back and asks you be a guest on next weeks program UNEDITED. Few take him up on the offer. I choose to submit this editorial.
I am a professional broadcaster and can’t help but hold K1MAN to “professional standards” since K1MAN is heard world wide. Glenn claims that K1MAN is an AMATEUR operation with some special circumstances that justify less than justify less than a professional standard. Much of K1MAN’s audio is so called “telephone audio” which drives me up the wall. K1MAN uses unconventional low cost production methods seemingly inconsistent with an international broadcast station which in fact, K1MAN is, but without commercial advertising or support from religious groups. But I know of no other short wave broadcast station that used single sideband. That plus amateur band protection allows K1MAN to be every bit as effective as mega powerful Voice of America or Radio Moscow. That fact has raised some eyebrows here in Switzerland.
Now to my point. Given the huge “splash” on the amateur radio scene by K1MAN’s spectacular comeback using an expired license, you would thing that ARRL or Bill Pasternak’s Amateur Radio Newsline would report on this and/or comment on this. SILENCE! What’s with that? This is not newsworthy? This, in my view, is one of the hottest amateur radio news items of 2009. July, 2009 CQ magazine pictures Riley Hollingsworth inducted into the Hall of Fame along with Texas Instruments engineer Jack Kilby who invented the integrated circuit. What did Riley do to deserve such an honor? Oh, he got rid of K1MAN, you say. But K1MAN came back on the air during the very same month of July. Do you get my drift here?
I understand K1MAN asked for mega powerful United States Senator Susan Collins to ask the FCC why it is over four years without any action on K1MAN’s FCC license renewal. Her only response was to introduce a bill in the United States Senate to have the Department of Homeland Security study the potential role of Amateur Radio during a national emergency in the Unites States, such as the phones and the internet going down. My guess is that they will not bother to as much as discuss this with K1MAN, who has an international reputation as being an expert in ”hands on” emergency communications, but rather discuss this with ARRL bureaucrats who have zero hands on experience with large scale amateur radio emergency communications. Just a guess, mind you. As before, K1MAN will probably pull light years ahead while the bureaucrats of ham radio just sit around and talk about how important they are….certainly too important to report on the spectacular re-emergence of K1MAN who really seems to be a ray of hope in out beloved but troubled radio hobby. E-mail your comments to me in care of AARA@K1MAN.com 73!

K1MAN ESSAY - ES081015
CAPITALISM, ENTROPY, AND THE MODERN WORLD ECONOMY
Suppose there are a total of ten people in ”sample town” who each own 11 shares of “sample stock” in “sample corporation.” You move into town and purchase one share of “sample stock” from each person for $100 per share. Now each of the 11 people in town own 10 shares. Does this mean that each person owns $1000 worth of stock? No! The stock only has the value of what someone is willing and/or able to pay for it. The total of 110 shares are not worth $11,000 unless there is “willing money” available to buy it.
The 10 people put that $1000 from you in “sample bank.” The bank then loans $800 of that money out to build a “sample house.” Is that $1000 in the bank really available to the depositors at any time? No!
The government spends more money than it takes in by selling treasury bills. The money for all of the treasury bills will never be paid back unless the government can raise enough tax money to do so, which will never happen, of course. This and the above examples are all “floats” or what I call “funny money.” If the world economy grows fast enough, these “floats” are “absorbed” and contained. If not, inflation will render money less and less valuable with a lower limit of zero.
World economic growth has been driven by cheap fossil fuel. As this fuel runs out, and therefore becomes more expensive, economic growth becomes more and more difficult. Eventually the whole system will crash, either quickly or slowly. Probably the latter. It is really quite simple. Much like a pyramid scheme, there is no free lunch in the long run. The laws of physics will eventually “kick in” and things will all balance out.
At the end of this rocky road there will be survivors. Even when the Hindenburg blew up, two thirds of the passengers survived. Most people survived the Black Plague. Probably no humans would survive a direct hit by a large asteroid, but some other animals might well evolve to intelligent life on par with or exceeding the intelligence of humans. Right now, 99% of all life on earth is now extinct. Life is far from a sure thing.
A significant risk to non insect life, of course, would be a large nuclear exchange. We might end up here on earth with intelligent bugs! But is intelligence really desirable or even a good idea? Only intelligent life could make a nuclear exchange possible in the first place!
In the meantime, be happy. We are advised by experts to spend time thinking good things about people we dislike, enjoy sex, and laugh.

WHERE TO INVEST
In the above example, let us assume that all of the 110 shares of stock were paid for with hard cash. Those 110 shares have a market value of $11,000. Now a 12th person moves into town and buys one share from each of the other eleven for $110 per share. The net hard cash now invested to date in the 110 shares is now $11,000 plus $10 X 11 = $110 plus $11,000 = $11,110. But the so called market value of all the stock is 110 times $110 per share (just established by the last sale of 11 shares) = $12,100. The difference between the puffed up market value and hard cash value is therefore $12,100 minus $11,110 = 990. I will call this $990 “market puff.” By this market mechanism, all market value contains a significant amount of market puff, supposedly justified by growth in the corporation represented by this common stock.
Some of the market puff can be linked to corporation growth and some, I’ll call “cream puff,” is driven by strict casino type speculation. In any event, the 110 shares are no more valuable than someone is willing and able to pay for with hard cash. In this regard, the shares of the stock (or the stock market) is not a very sound place to invest hard cash for future needs such as retirement or children’s educations unless you want to depend on a float which also contains both puff and cream puff. In each sale, the seller is either gaining or losing money, not including any ,dividends, if any.

Similar to a chain letter, the stock market ,as an investment, is limited by demographics. When the baby boomers retire, there will not be enough hard cash from the stock market available to retire on.

Now a thirteenth person moves into town and buys one share from each of the other eleven for $90 in hard cash per share. Now we have 90 x 11 = 990 plus 11,110 12,100 in hard cash invested and a newly established stock price., etc…….. (to be continued)
Good luck and 73 de K1MAN.

PAST AARD 2009 MATERIAL
We are getting many telephone calls and E-mails at IARN headquarters these days as amateur radio seems to be alive and well. There are too few connects with our AMTOR mailbox, and this must improve if the Amateur Radio Service expects to be ready for a major national/international communications emergency. There needs to be much more 80 meter HF in the cars out there to communicate with local Red Cross state wide when the repeaters go down. We noticed an article in this month’s QST about electromagnetic pulse, so there is concern about hams being ready for the worst. Maine and Connecticut Senators Collins and Lieberman have even introduced legislation to have the U.S. Department of Homeland Security do a formal study of potential rolls for Amateur Radio if something really bad happens. Getting ready for the worst can be fun!

Greeting:

K1MAN does not negotiate with black mailers or terrorists. Your
alleged successful attempt, as a representative of the Woodpecker Net
on 40 meters, to blackmail Universal Radio, is noted here with much
disgust and interest.

As did the late Walter Cronkite, KB2GSD, Fred Osterman, President of Universal Radio, has caved in on two occasions to this 2nd grade FCC
mentality blackmail: "I don't like Billy because Johnny likes Billy
and I don't like Johnny." In your case, you threatened to defame
Universal Radio if they associate with K1MAN, and Riley Hollingsworth
(currently an ARRL Vice Director, understand) apparently did not like
Glenn. Hollingsworth is an allegedly fifth rate and corrupt former
FCC lawyer who was sick on the day they taught law at law school, in
my Amateur and Professional opinion. The alleged anti K1MAN/pro ARRL
faction threatened Cronkite with "..If you are associated with K1MAN
(he did an ID for the K1MAN Bulletin Service) then we will accuse you
of being a child molester....." Cronkite folded like a cheap suit
and even wrote a letter asking the FCC to not grant the K1MAN renewal,
as they have not do so far for over four years. We will see how Ms.
Smith stacks up; so far she seems to be in lock step, but we shall
see.

Interference to K1MAN bulletins is an alleged felony, and FCC
encouragement of this is also an alleged felony. We are building a
stack of affidavits for formal criminal charges with the U.S. Attorney
in this regard.

We understand that Universal Radio no longer offers a free book and
free shipping, and this will be so noted in due course on the
www.K1MAN.com web site, after K1MAN puts the fourth and fifth
transmitters on the air for 5 band amateur radio information bulletin
service world wide coverage.

Any further attempts to blackmail K1MAN will not be welcomed!

Blackmail is also an alleged felony!

In view of the FCC's recent mistakes with regard to BPL, and in view of
the Supreme Court's decision that the FCC overstepped its authority when
it allowd the broadcast flag, I and others have come to completely
mistrust that government organization. We are now mobilizing to resist
the FCC until Congress intervenes to correct the situation.

Toward that end, we have established the K1MAN Defense Fund and will
soon be seeking donations. If you share my belief that the FCC is
derelict in its duity, please help amateur radio by contributing to the
fund. Just as soon as the ARRL completes the paperwork to establish
itself as custodian of the K1MAN Defense Fund, further details will be
posted both here and in the pages of QST.

The FCC must not be allowed to continue its abuse of the radio services
at the behest of Washington lobbyists.

Last weekend I was zooming around the 20 meter bands when I heard
these morons on 14.275 Mhz talking about Glenn Baxter, and one of them
was Disco Dan W4NTI. Now I can understand that these "cry-babies" are
pissed off at Baxter and VE7KFM, but you would think these morons
would have better things to talk about them those two. I mean there
are a million other things they should talk about instead of those
two, I mean I can come up with millions of topics that don't relate to
Baxter or VE7KFM. But no, these inbred are obsessed with those two
that their on air behavior is almost embarrassing. They are in fact a
primary example of radio operators who take their hobby to seriously
and either need to back off of it for a while or be removed from the
service, because like Baxter and VE7KFM, their behavior is not wanted
on the amateur bands. No amateur should bad mouth another amateur on
the air, especially on a HF band.

Email re: K1MAN

Dear Attorney Smith,

I'm Bob Sherin, W4ASX, the person alluded to in K!MAN's letter to you that has been made public. There was a time when I was very much a part of the his Bulletin Service. But it didn't take me long to come around to a position against it, when the service started supporting revolutions in far off lands.

The interview Baxter refers to was indeed done, but it was a private endeavor on my part where I paid my own way. Baxter was fortunate to have gotten the material.

In no way do I endorse his present activities. Indeed I find him a classical narcissist (he has admitted same) polluting the airwaves. Please feel free to call me; I know a lot about his operation, both operationally and legally.

AN EDITORIAL ON INTERFERENCE from AR Newsline (not me)

Over the past two weeks we have been getting complaints that Newsline is jamming and in other ways harassing users of the frequency of 14.275 MHz on the 20 meter band.

For the record, we at the Amateur Radio Newsline are information providers only. We have no broadcast equipment and we air nothing ourselves. Our audio content is distributed over the Internet and by automated telephone and is formatted for retransmission specifically over VHF and UHF FM repeaters because that is where we believe that it belongs. It was never intended for retransmission on the High Frequency bands, however there are some hams who have chosen to do so for reasons known only to themselves.

If you are among those being interfered with on 14.275 MHz and live within the United States or its possessions, we suggest you obtain the call letters of the station that is doing the rebroadcast that is interfering with you and file a formal complaint with the FCC. It is the responsibility of that Federal Government agency to police the airwaves and only that agency can solve your problem.

That said, we would also question why anyone would even want to operate on or near 14.275 MHz. That is a frequency with a long history of being the home of numerous problems in our service.

With so many other frequencies available on 20 meters alone, there would seem to be no reason to congregate on 14.275 MHz other than to satisfy ones own voyeuristic needs. And in our humble view, that is not a good reason to tune a radio to that frequency.

If you cannot help yourself and feel a need to be there, please do not call or e-mail us to say that you were jammed or harassed. We will only respond that we warned you not to waste your time operating on or near 14.275.

There is simple solution to the problem of 14.275 MHz or any other frequency like it. Just don't bother listening and forget those who are making it into a mess even exist. (ARNewsline™)

combination of Baxter's name or his name and call yields no results.
The same holds true when you search for either his American Amateur
Radio Association or International Amateur Radio Network.


Baxter, who has yet to pay a $21,000 fine issued by the FCC is also
still not listed on the qrz.com call sign database and is still
prevented from posting anything on the on-line pages on that site.

Mr. Glenn A. Baxter
RR1 Box 779
Belgrade Lakes, ME 04918
Re: Amateur Radio license K1MAN

Dear Mr. Baxter:

On May 14, 1999, after numerous complaints about your Amateur station
regarding broadcasting, deliberate interference, failure to identify, poor
signal quality and erratic starting and stopping times, personnel from the
Boston office of the Commission monitored your station and attempted to
inspect it. There was no one present at your station while it was
transmitting on Amateur Service frequencies. The transmissions continued
while Commission personnel went to your residence at 1 Long Point Road, but
there was no one present there either. Again on May 15 while your station
was transmitting, Commission personnel attempted an inspection but there was
no one present.

Since the Amateur Radio Service rules require that Amateur stations be under
the control of a control operator, and that the control operator must ensure
the immediate proper operation of the station, we requested by letter dated
June 25, 1999, that you provide information to the Commission, pursuant to
Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, regarding the
operation of your Amateur station. You responded by letter dated July 25,
1999, but your response failed to provide the information we requested. We
notified you of that fact by letter dated August 4, 1999, and detailed the
inadequacies of your response.

Specifically, you did not provide the name, address or phone number of the
control operator for any of the "broadcasts" or "bulletins" such as
prerecorded interviews, transmissions of answering machine responses, live
interviews, or live, pre-recorded or automated station identifications
transmitted by your station. Among other deficiencies of the response, you
did not provide dates and times Amateur station K1MAN transmitted without a
control operator.

You also stated in your July 25, 1999 reply that you had not received our
June 25 letter by certified mail and that our letter had "misrepresented
itself as Certified Mail". We reminded you that you had signed the certified
receipt for that letter, and we provided you with a copy of that certified
receipt.

You responded to our August 4 letter by letter dated August 24, 1999. During
our review of the information you provided, your Amateur station ceased
operation. As a result, we held our inquiry in abeyance. The U.S. District
Court in Maine subsequently dismissed your lawsuit against the Commission,
and dismissed your petition for reconsideration of that dismissal as well.

You recently resumed operation of Amateur station K1MAN. In view of that
resumption and the resulting complaints we are receiving about deliberate
interference, threats against those who do not relinquish frequencies for
your use or who would complain, or who have complained, erratic operation,
broadcasting, unauthorized tape recording and broadcast of telephone
conversations, business use of an Amateur station and lack of station
control, we have resumed our inquiry into the operation of K1MAN.
In reviewing your letter dated August 24, 1999, referenced above, and your
actions subsequent to coming back on Amateur frequencies, it appears that
your understanding of certain Amateur Radio Service rules may be incorrect.

We will outline the apparent misunderstandings below.

Amateur Station Control
With regard to control of an Amateur station, your letter of August 24
indicated that the control device for your station was a "Radio Shack
timer", and that the control points for the station were "the main power
switch at the transmitter site" and at the location of the control operator,
wherever that may be". You further stated that on the dates in question, May
14 and 15, 1999, you were the control operator and were in "both Belgrade
Lakes and Augusta in either mobile or portable modes".

Section 97.7 of the Commission's rules states that "when transmitting, each
Amateur station must have a control operator". Section 97.105 states that
"the control operator must ensure the immediate proper operation of the
station, regardless of the type of control (emphasis added). Section 97.109
states that "each Amateur station must have at least one control point", and
that the control operator must be at the control point when the station is
locally controlled or remotely controlled.

Section 97.7 further states that a control operator need not be at the
control point if a station is automatically controlled. However, as Section
97.109 also explains, only stations specifically designated in Part 97, such
as a space, repeater, beacon or auxiliary station, may be controlled
automatically. There is no provision in Part 97 that allows an Amateur
station transmitting information bulletins to be automatically controlled.

In summary, your control of the station by a "Radio Shack timer" while you
are absent from your Amateur station is a violation of the Commission's
Rules. You were not in control of your station on May 14 and 15, 1999 while
you were in "both Belgrade Lakes and Augusta in either mobile or portable
modes". Your statement in your response that "K1MAN has never transmitted
during the current license term without a control operator acting in full
compliance with rules 97.105 and 97.109 as well as all other applicable FCC
rules" is untrue.

Simply put, to comply with Commission 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. 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).

Publishing a Transmitting Schedule & Interference
It appears that you may be under the misconception that by publishing a
transmitting schedule of K1MAN, you have certain rights under Commission
rules regarding the control operator and frequency sharing requirements that
you would not otherwise have.

With regard to the requirement for a control operator, publishing a schedule
does not relieve you of that requirement in any way whatsoever. Section
97.113(d) of the Amateur Radio rules states that by publishing a schedule of
transmissions at least 30 days in advance, a control operator of a club
station may accept compensation for the periods of time when the station is
transmitting...information bulletins, providing certain additional
conditions are met. Publishing a schedule of proposed transmissions,
therefore, relates only to a club station control operator accepting
compensation. We note that this is irrelevant to the operation of K1MAN
because K1MAN is not a club station.

Simply put, to the extent that you start your transmissions on top of
ongoing communications of other amateur service stations, you will be
engaging in deliberate interference, in violation of Section 97.101 of the
Commission's rules. No amateur service frequency is assigned for the
exclusive use of any station. Your publishing an intended transmission
schedule does not exempt you from that rule.

Threats to Complainants and Other Users
Your sending "Felony Complaint Affidavits" to other Amateur Service
licensees who complain or intend to complain of your operation, or who do
not relinquish frequencies to you, was the subject of a Warning letter to
you dated December 11, 2001. You have also been warned about such "Felony
Complaint Affidavits" by the United States Attorney in Maine.

The Commission will view any threats made by telephone, through the U.S.
Mail or on radio frequencies to Amateur Radio licensees who file complaints
with the Commission, or who do not relinquish frequencies for your use, as
very serious.

Broadcasting
We also note that on your web site and in your radio transmissions, you
refer to your transmissions variously as "broadcasts, programs, talk shows,
bulletins, pre-recorded interviews" and so forth. We have received
complaints that you have broadcast comedy shows and commercial messages. We
caution you that Section 97.113(b) of the Amateur service rules prohibits
amateur station from engaging in any form of broadcasting. Certain one-way
transmissions, such as information bulletins, are allowed as specified in
the rules.

Tape Recording and Broadcasting Telephone Conversations
We have received and have under review complaints that you have
tape-recorded telephone conversations without the consent of the recorded
party and that you have broadcast such tape recordings. We caution you that
such recording without consent may be in violation of state or federal law.
We will contact you under separate cover regarding those complaints.

In summary, it is very important for you to understand that we will review
all valid complaints concerning the operation of your Amateur station, and
that Commission personnel will again inspect your station. The rules of the
Amateur Service are straightforward and easy to understand. To the extent
that you do not comply with Commission rules regarding the Amateur Radio
Service, then to that extent enforcement action will be taken against your
licenses. That enforcement action may include revocation of your station
license, suspension of your operator license, a modification proceeding to
restrict your operating privileges, or monetary forfeiture.

It is also important for you to understand that if these matters are not
resolved, your operator/primary station licenses will not be routinely
renewed; but instead will be designated for hearing before an Administrative
Law Judge. In such a proceeding, you would have the burden of proof to show
that your licenses should be renewed.

Since Baxter's license expires today, we can't really refer to him as
K1MAN anymore. It wouldn't be right, him not having a valid license and
all... He needs a new name! Anyhow, I ran across an article on qrz that
offered the perfect solution.

---begin article

Madonna reinvented herself. So did Prince, and P-Diddy, and Elvis is
known simply as "The King." Today I gave Glenn a few suggestions before
finally settling on a new moniker.

Here are my suggestions (with comments):

"Ex-K1MAN" (too formal)

"The unemployed person formerly known as K1MAN" (too accurate)

"X-Man" (too cartoonish)

"Bobo" (rhymes with Hobo and Homo)

Hmmmm. Now we're getting somewhere! The long form could be "Bobo the
Homo Hobo..."

This name (while long) seems completely appropriate, because Bobo is
friendly and unassuming (like Glenn) and Homo means Man, and a Hobo is
someone who is disenfranchised... and since Glenn is about to become
disenfranchised, it fits. I like it!

Since his license expires today, I suggest we refer to ex-K1MAN as
"Bobo the Friendly Clown!"

---end article

Anyhow, there you have it. Baxter's new name is Bobo the Homo Hobo - or
just Bobo the Friendly Clown. I think Bobo the Homo Hobo has a better
ring. Or just plain Bobo.

Here's the website referenced in the article...

ARRL membership is declining but not due to Glenn Baxter a/k/a AARA
a/k/a IARN. Baxter has made only one contribution to ham radio: He has
legitimized information bulletins put out by stations other than W1AW.

His other boasts are the sheer fantasy of a guy with a Radio Shack tape
recorder fancying himself another CNN.

Up to now, I have not been an ARRL supporter, but I think current
circumstances make membership in ARRL mandatory for all of us. That's
because the hobby/service has never before been under this much siege
on account of the escalating computer revolution.

Whatever you say about the ARRL -- self serving promotion, stacked
elections, censorship of views with which it disagrees -- it is, in
fact, the only institution positioned to help our hobby/service survive
intact.

Today it has my vote and soon my membership dollars. Rather than tilt
against ARRL, I believe it is time to work within the organization to
make it the democratic institution we'd all like to see.

K1MAN EDITORIAL - ED051010A - AMERICAN AMATEUR RADIO ASSOCIATION

ARRL MEMBERSHIP IS IN FREE FALL AS AARA NIPS AT THEIR HEELS

"The League has mismanaged emergency funds in my opinion," says AARA
Executive Director, Glenn Baxter, K1MAN. "If ARRL spent as much effort
on emergency communications as they do lobbying against K1MAN's FCC
license in Washington, they might have much greater success competing
with IARN on the disaster communications front," according to Mr.
Baxter. "Their focus seems to be on their dwindling membership," says
the leader of the American Amateur Radio Association and arch rival of
Newington. www.K1MAN.com

See the attached League articles. (While not yet a radio amateur!)


NEWINGTON, CT, Oct 6, 2005--Sarah Dorsey, a native of West Hartford,
Connecticut, is the ARRL's new--and first--Membership Manager. She
officially assumed her duties at ARRL Headquarters October 5. Her
primary focus will be on developing membership recruitment and
retention strategies to increase membership growth. She'll also support
member and customer service. WHILE NOT YET A RADIO AMATEUR, Dorsey says
she's "absolutely" looking forward to the challenge of her new
responsibilities, and a ham radio licensing class is on her short list.

"I enjoy work that is personally meaningful," she said. "I've been
fascinated with learning about ham radio operators and the crucial role
they played and continue to perform in the rescue and recovery efforts
for Katrina and Rita. I look forward to the day when I'll also be able
to work side by side with our members."

Dorsey attended Green Mountain College in Vermont and is a graduate of
Charter Oak College in Connecticut. Prior to coming to the League, she
served as recruitment marketing manager for a non-profit health care
services organization in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she managed
recruitment and retention initiatives.

Her professional background also includes management, marketing and
recruitment positions in various disciplines of the healthcare and
human services markets. Dorsey says she's now ready for a new challenge
that requires essentially the same skill set.

ARRL COO Harold Kramer, WJ1B, anticipates that Dorsey's past experience
will fold right into the League's goal of boosting membership and
retaining current members. "More important, we look forward to her
providing even more value and benefits to being an ARRL member," Kramer
said. "Sarah will become a very visible part of the ARRL team at
hamfests and conventions, and she is looking forward to meeting many of
our members and prospective members."

ARRL Sales and Marketing Manager Dennis Motschenbacher, K7BV, earlier
this year announced the search for a Membership Manager to target
membership recruitment and retention. He says having Dorsey on board in
that role is part of an overall strategy to "look beyond many of the
League's current organizational paradigms regarding membership."

Dorsey recalled occasionally driving past the Maxim Memorial Station
W1AW building while growing up in the Greater Hartford area. "That
little brick building is definitely a landmark," she remarked, adding
that she never anticipated one day working on behalf of Amateur Radio
at ARRL Headquarters. "Now everywhere I go, I'm starting to notice
antennas!"

Topic: Countdown to B-Day, Days Until K1MAN License Expiration

With mere days to go until Glenn Baxter's license expires, one wonders
if the FCC will act to deny the K1MAN renewal application. Considering
the numerous allegations regarding rules violations and character
issues surrounding Baxter over the last ten years, it seems likely the
FCC will affirm the $21,000 NAL and designate the renewal for a hearing
in front of an administrative law judge.

If the renewal is designated for hearing, the judge could order Baxter
off the air during any possible appeal process. If Baxter fails to pay
an affirmed NAL, he could run afoul of the FCC's "red light rule" which
would prohibit him from obtaining any benefit from the FCC until his
debt was paid.

Baxter's "bulletin" has been notably absent from 75 and 20 meters since
early summer. This is reminiscent of 1999 when the FCC was taking an
active interest in Baxter's activities. Baxter disappeared for a period
of two years, and later resumed his activities after the FCC turned its
attention elsewhere. Baxter has claimed he was teaching high school,
and he actually sued the FCC, allegedly for suggesting they had
something to do with taking him off the air. Baxter lost the suit.

RRAP 9 13 05

Sifting through prior posts, I found one relevant and worthy of
reposting. Where some hams are raising K1MAN's pyschology, what better
commentary can we have than from Glenn's Wife, Bonny, which Glenn
himself published?

The following was posted on January 21, 2003. It is reposted with one
caveat: The Logan Act is raised when, better, The Patriot Act should be
substituted.
------------------------------------------------------------------
"Answering W4ASX editorials, today Baxter fired back. (In the
attachment which follows) we learn that he equates himself to Bill
Gates and Ted Turner, that people in Dayton ask for his autograph,
that AARU is a registered trademark and that www.K1MAN.com had 64,582
hits during the month of December. But more to the point: 'My wife
Bonnie says I am a narcissist.'

Bonnie is on the money. DSM, the internationally accepted manual of
mental disorders, defines narcissism as 'An all-pervasive pattern of
grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration or adulation
and lack of empathy, usually beginning by early adulthood and present
in variety of contexts.'

We all have characteristics that track DSM, but the difference between
an order and disorder is dysfunction. If the characteristics give rise
to a 'presenting problem, then the person is said to have a disorder.

Quite simply, the issue comes down to whether Glenn's narcissism is all
pervasive, invading, penetrating, and molding every aspect, nook, and
cranny of the personality, which is, granted, a subjective judgment.

The moment I witnessed the forays into foreign policy in Bougainville,
I thought that line had been crossed. And now listening to Sam and
Glenn talk about operations in Iraq, Jordan, Israel and Somalia, I know
they've entered forbidden territory.

Their activity violates the Logan Act, which prevents private citizens
from conducting foreign policy. Glenn's response: 'And we have done
some wild things around the world over the years. But in violation of
the Logan Act? Come on Bob, who is deluded now?' In fact, Glenn
embraces some of the same people we, worried about homeland security,
oppose. Shouldn't a responsible leader be open, in the very least, to
the possibility of adverse consequences?

As Brian, K3VR, who has compiled an amazing dossier on Baxter
operations in the arena of foreign policy, writes: 'Whether he is ill,
naive, stupid, or a bona-fide spy, won't matter one iota to the
agencies who have questions about his actions. They will want
satisfactory answers to significant questions.' Our security demands no
less.

As to his respected Wife's assessment of narcissistic mental state,
Baxter drops one more hint in the attachment. "Anyway, I sent Bob the
$25 and he said he never got it. It did not come back so, being
paranoid, I figured Bob was stiffing me." Unbelievable, this after the
closest working relationship where I had proved my honesty time and
again. Characteristic of Baxter, he does not disclose in the attachment
(identification of check, i.e. date and number), leaving, for the
readers, that cloud of suspicion remaining, a classic Baxter tactic.

DSM identifies the narcissist as 'interpersonally exploitive,
i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends.' It gives us closeup
insight into his apparent view of himself: of the omnipotent,
worldwide, IARN Network with offices girding the globe engaged in
missions befitting Mother Teresa, his views sought out by leaders of
the free and non-free worlds as well as important media, such as the
Wall Street Journal and major TV Networks.

We are left with an impression of grandeur, when, in fact, this is but
one person, Glenn Baxter, and his Radio Shack recorder on timers and a
loop. We would be less than honest if we didn't acknowledge a certain
value in the production and distribution of such a bulletin.

To read the DSM criteria for narcissistic disorder is to gain full
insight into Baxter. Having 5 of the following qualifies him: 1)
Feels grandiose and self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and
talents to the point of lying, demands to be recognized as superior
without commensurate achievements), 2) Is obsessed with fantasies of
unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequaled
brilliance ..., 3) Firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being
special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or
associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or
institutions), 4) Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention
and affirmation -- or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be
notorious narcissistic supply), 5) Feels entitled. Expects
unreasonable or special and favorable priority treatment. Demands
automatic and full compliance with his or her expectations, 6)
'interpersonally exploitive' ..., 7) Devoid of empathy. Is unable or
unwilling to identify with or acknowledge the feelings and needs of
others, 8) Constantly envious of others or believes that they feel the
same way about him or her, and 9) Arrogant, haughty behaviors or
attitudes coupled with rage when frustrated, addicted, or confronted."

Quoting Baxter: "He (meaning me) has been on Prozac for several years
now and recently a mood regulator as well ... . While apparently
making him happier, I now find Bob to be a different functioning human
being with regard to his great intellectual abilities."

"For sure, Glenn; thanks for the kudos. Depakote, a mood regulator,
prevents those leaps into grandiosity, bad judgment, irritable
episodes, pressured speech. The intellect remains, albeit, for more
productive pursuits. There isn't a person in my inner circle,
including myself, who has failed to notice a vast change for the
better. For some, Depakote (makes) miracle(s).

Consider it Glenn. Just a bit of harmless Depakote can make you the
achiever you've only imagined thus far.

Bob Sherin, W4ASX"

On the Mary Tyler Moore show, Ted Baxter is an incompetent shell of a
man. He's selfish, inflated, overblown, egotistical, insecure, and very
very dumb.

Baxter's role model is Walter Cronkite. Although devoted to his wife,
Baxter has reproductive "issues." We're never told but my guess is,
he's impotent. Baxter is the proverbial talking air-head - no one
respects him.

So why did we enjoy following Baxter's antics?

It's simple. His idiocy made us laugh. He was the quintessential clown;
the court jester; the fool.

I'll miss our amateur radio version of Ted Baxter. In less than two
weeks his license will expire, and although he'll undoubtedly try to
get his license renewed, there's a huge doubt as to whether we'll ever
hear another original "broadcast."

I often wonder if Baxter, like another tragic clown, Pagliacci, is
crying on the inside. The comedy is nearly ended, and we may never
know.

However, his "broadcasting" days are about to come to a close -- owing
to the FCC "red light rule" discussed in other threads, the setting
aside of his renewal application is going to put him off the air at the
expiration of his present license. If he continues transmitting after
that date, he'll start racking up more fines for unlicensed
operation....

As hurricane Katrina passed over New Orleans the ARRL hams ran away as
K1MAN knew that they would. So in K1MAN Bulletin 050912A K1MAN directed
his followers to "Head toward a hurricane/disaster zone. At some
point you will meet cars heading out as they evacuate. Many will have
cel phones and many of those will be non functional or overloaded
because of the very real communications emergency that you are there to
assist with. Now you park in some public place and solicit OUTGOING
TRAFFIC from anybody who is in need."

K1MAN directed that all of these messages be sent back to IARN
headquarters or to your home base by AMTOR (preferred), SSB voice, or
even CW for handling there by ordinary hard line telephones. From
there, hundreds of volunteers loyal to K1MAN and IARN stood ready to
deliver them to destination.

In the Newsline I received today is the following misleading
information obviously designed to discredit the great K1MAN.

"RESCUE RADIO: DON'T GO TO THE DISASTER AREA UNLESS YOU CHECK FIRST


If you get an e-mail or read an announcement from an unfamiliar ham
radio group that urges you to head toward the disaster area with AMTOR
gear, please ignore it. This is not an official request coming from
any agency directly associated with the relief efforts.


All official requests for ham radio aid being issued by the various
relief agencies are being funneled through the American Radio Relay
League and no place else. If you have any questions about the
authenticity of any Amateur Radio aid request please check the postings
at www.arrl.org. That's where you will find the latest and most
accurate listing of this emergency's ongoing communications needs.
(Various)"

The great K1MAN cannot permit this falsehood to go unpunished. The
millions who follow his divine leadership condemn this feeble attempt
by the Newsline to harm the image of K1MAN and the IARN. We who believe
the great K1MAN to be the one true ham leader demand a retraction and
apology now. If these are not forthcoming, K1MAN and IARN will file
tort litigation in this matter against all who listen to the Newsline
program.

He's crossed the line numerous times: doing foreign policy, defaming
Riley Hollingsworth, going commercial. But he has a case

When Ervin Duggan was FCC Chief Commissioner in the 80s, Baxter
received two NALs similar to the present. Dutifully, he spent a great
deal of time on his response, serving same on the FCC by regular mail.
When the mail was "lost," Baxter resorted to Federal Express with no
better result.

So, here was an agency, pre-Hollingsworth, that had issed two NALs and
had purposely sandbagged K1MAN's answer -- with good reason.

In his answer, Baxter cited two documents of probative value. One was
a letter to Kenneth Black of Ulmerton, UK, responding to his complaint,
that gave K1MAN's operation a clean bill of health, equating it to W1AW
bulletins. It was signed by Robert McNamara, Chief of the FCC,
then-Private Radio Bureau.

The other was a declaratory order on the subject of the length of
Information Bulletins with a footnote that referred to W1AW published
schedules. The essence of the order was, information bulletins cannot
be proscribed by time limits since they are so varied. Rightly or
wrongly, Baxter has drawn his authority to come on when he does from
that Order's footnote.

Small wonder the FCC disregarded K1MAN's answer, which essentially held
that the issue of the NALs had already been settled in his favor. In
legal argot, res judicata.

Though most hams, including myself, want to march Baxter right out of
this service, justice dictates something else. The FCC, it seems to
this commentator, has the burden of first addressing its previous NALs
of the 80s which were never resolved.

An agency of government simply cannot throw a flurry of similar charges
at a citizen, selectively unresponsive to those that can be defended,
while arbitrarily limiting its attention to subsequent charges.
Certainly, to the extent the previous NALs are similar, the legal
principle of collaterol estoppel comes into play in Baxter's behalf.

I don't like what Baxter does any more than you. Indeed, I think he
lost his way years ago. But if we're to have justice for all in these
United States, then we must afford K1MAN justice. Let's not throw out
the baby with the bath water.

Like a theologian, Glenn Baxter cites chapter and verse of the U.S.
Constitution. Trouble is, he hasn't the least idea how it works.
Despite his strident claims of being denied due process, nothing of the
kind has occurred. In fact, he's received more due process than any
ten hams: If we did a fraction of what he's done in the face of FCC
citations, we'd have gotten the boot long ago.

His nonsensical invocation of the Constitution has neither rhyme nor
reason. He would urge upon us an interpretation that does not take
into account the huge body of case law coming down from the federal
courts, which interpret the slim provisions of our great instrument.

A quick analogy spotlights the point: In 1868 the Fourteenth Amendment
was ratified giving all citizens of these United States due process and
equal protection of law. For African-Americans at the start of the
20th Century, however, equal protection meant separate but equal, only
to change midway with Brown vs. Board of Education to be truly equal.
This, of course, gave rise to affirmative action and busing. So, for
the real deal on our Constitution, we must look to the courts, a
direction to which Baxter appears blind.

>From reading him, you'd think that we not only should dispense with the
FCC's interpretation of Part 97 but the Supreme Court's intrepretation
of agency power as well.

The FCC does indeed have the power of taking draconian measures to
enforce. And this includes withholding license renewal pending future
hearing while requiring the licensee to stay off the air in the
meantime. If an agency didn't have such power, it stands to reason
that we'd be subjected to anarchy of the airwaves, the very thing the
FCC is empowered to prevent.

Must the FCC take a ham off the air before his administrative hearing?
No. Case in point: Herb Schoenbohm, KV4FZ. Even after he was
convicted on three felony counts (2 of which were later reversed with
one remaining that should have been reversed, in this commentators
view), the FCC allowed him to operate. He was on the air all the way
up to the adverse decision in his administrative case -- at which time
the FCC granted him a grace period before he was removed. (He's since
gotten his license back.)

Riley Hollingsworth is uniquely suited for his enforcement role with
the Commission because he tempers enforcement with humanism. He sees
his job as one in which, by gaining the cooperation of the regulated,
he obtains volutary compliance. There are many hams, including this
writer, who have been regulated thusly by Riley and who stand with him.
A large slice of the discontented do not realize how much this one
regulator has accomplished without incurring the back breaking expense
of litigation.

His domain is one area of the U.S. government that works with efficient
precision, fixing an astonishing array problems with few resources.

Contrary to popular belief, the FCC, loath to judge First Amendment
subject-matter, doesn't object to information bulletins per se. In
reasonably formal language, the agency has equated Baxter's to ARRL
bulletins. There are, however, aspects of his operation that
Hollingsworth has questioned. In response, Baxter, expressly spoiling
for a fight, replaces the FCC's interpretation of Part 97 with his own,
owning a unique position in the panthion of justice of advocate,
regulator,agency, judge, court and jury.

Whatever arguable equities he brings to his cause, like replicating
ARRL's practice of starting on a published schedule, he cannot flout
FCC authority and expect to stay on the air until his administrative
hearing. And when that takes place, there is nothing that vitiates his
declaration that he will continue operating without FCC authority.

This declaration is utterly at cross purposes with staying on the air,
because no government agency can bend to express non-compliance to such
important action and hope to be an effective regulator. Not only that,
but how can an express law breaker incapable of regulation claim to be
rehabilitated later? (Perhaps a mental defense.) Likely he has sealed
his fate forever as not possessing the integrity to be a ham.

During KV4FZ's long odyssey, he conducted himself with respect toward
the Commission, and it reacted favorably by affording him lattitude.
Because K1MAN is conducting himself in opposition, he is and will be
treated accordingly.

There's an appropriate, hackneyed expression: You can win more friends
with honey than vinegar! Aging fast, Baxter's shelf life is short.

Rich,

I agree with you. I would like to talk with you for this week's program. Why has it taken
so long for Senator Collins to reply? I sent her (and the FCC) about three pounds of reprints and thank you letters to IARN......she probably had to have me checked out since
Brian Crow claims I am a terrorist, etc. I am not, of course.

You and I will talk mostly about IARN's big plans for the future and new plans my ham radio talk show.

I will telephone you as soon as my primary 80 meter antenna is back in operation. Before Sunday. I am using another 80 meter inverted V for the "broadcast" right now.

Great photos! Thanks!

Glenn

P.S. Currently using a 3-1000 on 20 and a Collins 30L-1 on 80. Lots of fans! I sometimes run barefoot.

Dear Mr. Simmons:

Can you advise me how many more years it will take the FCC to act on
my timely filed amateur radio station K1MAN license renewal
application? It has been pending for almost 4 years now.

Attached is a summary of relevant information to refresh memories.

Thank you in advance for your prompt and professional attention to
this matter.

From Glenn Baxter, K1MAN
14 April 2008

Thank you for your interest and comments about K1MAN. There is major ignorance out there about this matter which I wish to address here.

All K1MAN transmissions have been legal, and this is why the FCC cannot stop them without changing Part 97 rules.

The FCC can issue their silly (uncollectible) fines all they want and delay (almost three years now) renewing K1MAN's license as long as they want, but they cannot stop K1MAN's on the air operations because K1MAN is licensed (even while a renewal application is pending), and is legal, and they know it, and they are afraid to go to court and be made fools of.

K1MAN "broadcasts" are all legal. Most hams forget to look at the FCC definition (as
opposed to a dictionary definition) of "broadcast," which is a transmission intended for the general public. Don't like it? Petition the FCC to change the rules.

Transmissions must be of direct interest to the Amateur Radio Service, which would include everything ever transmitted by K1MAN. There is no time limit or other content limit on amateur transmissions except a ban on profanity. You can call Riley a bum or you can call Glenn a bum if you wish. You can be called a member of the "Amateur Nazi Party (a ficticious joke to make a point, or course)." K1MAN has never transmitted profanity.

You can publish a schedule and then come on without listening as both K1MAN and W1AW have been doing legally for years. If you don't like it, petition the FCC to change the rules. This is good engineering practice in the opinion of both K1MAN and W1AW.
Bad engineering practice would be to put one way W1AW or K1MAN transmissions on different frequencies from day to day.

K1MAN used timers to start transmissions exactly on time (for 17 years), as is also done now by W1AW. Current K1MAN policy is to check the band on or near 14.275 MHz. and come on a clear spot sometime in the morning, and run all day, and then do the same thing sometime in the evening on or near 3.890 MHz. and then run all night. This solves the so called QRM complaints. The odd times make it more difficult for galactic lids such as Brian Crow, K3VR to intentionally jam (a felony) the K1MAN transmissions.

The closest that K1MAN comes to pecuniary interest is to announce (publish) that the transmitting schedule can be found at www.K1MAN.com. This is far less commercial than "QST, QST, QST, this is W1AW in Newington Connecticut." QST, of course, is their magazine for sale. Then you have to buy an ARRL handbook to check the accuracy of your code practice! K1MAN is also less commercial than talking you in to a ham fest where you then pay to be admitted. K1MAN has never solicited money on the air.

K1MAN is legally remote controlled. The most recent inspection of K1MAN by three FCC engineers from the Boston office verified this 100%.. In a previous attempt by the FCC to inspect K1MAN, they went to the unattended transmitter site and did not bother to telephone to ask where the remote control point was on that day. The FCC lids in Washington, of course, reported some of the latter and none of the former.

K1MAN uses timers to start the transmissions exactly on time as is also done by W1AW.

IARN (the International Amateur Radio Network) is not baloney. IARN was officially
recognized by both the State of Maine legislature and Vermont Academy for emergency traffic work world wide. These honors, of course, were never mentioned in QST.

K1MAN deplores the antics of VE7xxx.

The FCC officially equated K1MAN to W1AW in an FCC letter dated 2 November 1989 from FCC Special Services Division Chief Robert H. McNamara:

"….We are familiar with the nature of the transmissions by K1MAN and find that they fall in the same category as transmissions by amateur station W1AW….."

The Supreme Court has ruled that this letter by the FCC constitutes the rule by res judicata and that nothing written by Riley Hollingsworth can change it. The only way
around this is for the FCC to change the Part 97 rules themselves.

K1MAN has been legally "broadcasting" for 20 years. Of course there have been a few
technical errors from time to time. A missed ID, a tape jam, the access of a wrong tape by a newly installed cassette system, perhaps. There is no rule saying you must monitor your own on the air signal. If something goes wrong at K1MAN, the phone usually rings immediately. Worst case is a card from an ARRL Official Observer or a Notice of Violation from an FCC Engineer in charge.. You don't wait several years and then revoke someone's license over minor technical errors!

Opinions and editorials. Some say this is bad. I say it is good to have robust opinions expressed over amateur radio.

Ya know, if you don't like it, turn the dial or hit the off switch!

IN SUMMARY

Riley Hollingsworth runs a very sloppy operation. Regarding K1MAN, he doesn't have a leg to stand on. He knows it. If he or ARRL or my detractors could do something about K1MAN they would, in a heartbeat. It only takes 51% to be elected President.
To the other 49%, or whatever the number is, that don't like K1MAN for whatever reasons, well, welcome to America! Vote with your hands and turn that great big dial on your radio! 73 and GL de K1MAN.

Augusta, Maine 04330

Dear Senator Collins:

You have a copy of my Certified letter dated 20 June 2009 to the FCC regarding my amateur radio K1MAN license renewal application which has been "pending" for four years this month with no action on it whatsoever. I think the U.S. government can do better, act more professionally, and act in a more business like manner. I know you will agree.

I hereby request that you "light a fire" under the Commission and request that they act in a more responsible manner. They have not even acknowledged my letter.

Keep up the good work for us in Washington; we are very proud of you!

Sincerely,

(signed)
Glenn A. Baxter, P.E., K1MAN


There you go sports fans, the latest update from Glenn-K1MAN...

mission

given it appears that K1man has returned to ariwaves after an absense of several years I decided what the heck I would blog about K1man this blog neither supports nor opposes K1man Howver in covering him since he has developed a a following of true haters the blog may appear to slant against him. I do hope to be fair and balanced and if k1man wants he should contact the editor here
