Maine asked to rescind honours bestowed on K1MAN

A Pennsylvania ham is asking the Maine state Legislature to rescind a statement of positive sentiment it issued several years ago. This, regarding the work of Glenn Baxter, K1MAN, of Belgrade Lakes.

According to the August 21st Kinnebunc Journal, back in 1990 the Maine Legislature honored Baxter because he facilitated emergency communications in disaster areas.

But as previously reported, this past June Baxter was served with what amounts to a $21,000 proposed fine from the FCC. This, for for what the agency calls willful interference, failure to respond to a commission directive, broadcasting, a lack of station control, and using his station with a pecuniary interest.

Now a Pennsylvania ham named Brian Crow, K3VR, is asking the Legislature to take back the cudos it issued to Baxter. And to drive home his point, Crow is also urging hams
everywhere to write to the Maine legislture. This, in support of his request to remove the official accolades previously bestowed on K1MAN.
