Baxter K1MAN calls NAL 'Silly and Anaemic'

Glenn Baxter (the former K1MAN) called the FCCs fine against him 'silly and anaemic,' and echoing past unfounded charges, he calls the FCC 'corrupt'.

"Finally, Baxter goes on to call the approximately 1,000 hams who have complained about him 'idiots'.

Baxter's letter (published on his website) appears to establish without a doubt, the contempt in which he holds the FCC and the level of defiance against the Federal Communications Commission's authority, which continues, despite the issuance of a $21,000 fine from the Commission.

Walter,

I enjoyed the Neil Armstrong piece on "60 Minutes" yesterday. You were sure at the top of your game back then, for sure!

Dan Rather lectured at the University of Maine last week and suggested that journalists should get a "spine transplant." I immediately thought of you, caving in to anonymous hams and or unconfirmed false reports threatening to implicate you as well me with child molesting. Check your sources, Walter.

Perhaps you simply handled the matter wrongly. You did an ID for me when you were trying to promote your new autobiography. OK so far. You attached no limitations to my use of the ID. I used the ID on my world wide short wave program. Many of my detractors wrote to you and, of course, said I was illegal, etc., and that I was a convicted
child molester, etc., which you would be associated with.

Your secretary called me about the child molesting issue. You then wrote and asked me to stop using the ID. I agreed if you would come on my program and explain your reasons. You declined. I continued using the ID so as not to cave in to the blackmail as you were so willing to do. Then you call ME unethical?! Who is being unethical
here?

You hypocrite! You lobby the FCC to revoke my license after John F. Kennedy threatened you and CBS with trying to influence the FCC when you insisted on running his flubbed remarks during a presidential campaign interview with you. You didn't cave in then!

Here is what you should have done with K1MAN. Ignore the idiots or else publish a disclaimer. Yes, you did the ID but no, you do not endorse AARA, or whatever; not publish a letter on the internet that Glenn Baxter is "unethical." Pretty strong word, Walter!

Believe me, if I were illegal doing what W1AW has done for almost 100 years, the FCC and U.S. Government are smart enough and powerful enough to do something about it other than defame me with their silly and anaemic notices of APPARENT liability. Let's go to court, Walter, and I will call you as my first witness! God bless America, the land of the free and home of the brave.

The FCC is a corrupt agency. Big deal. This is America, and we do have some corruption. We also have laws. I am protected by our wonderful laws.
