"Problems seem to be mounting for International Amateur Radio
Network net manager Glen Baxter K1MAN. In early February he was
served another Notice of Apparent Liability from the FCC. This
one to the tune of $1600 for allegedly violating FCC
prohibitions on broadcasting in the amateur service. The FCC
contends that portions of Baxter's ham news bulletins
constitute broadcasting and broadcasting announcements
soliciting membership in the IARN. This brings to $3700 the
amount that K1MAN may have to antie up if his appeals are
turned down by the FCC and by the courts."

"FCC field Operations Bureau Chief, Richard M. Smith, has
moved to stop the International Amateur Radio Network bulletins
from being transmitted on the hambands. In a four page letter
dated August 27th, Smith affirmed a $1500 monetary forfeiture
imposed on Glen Baxter K1MAN last year by the FCC's Belfast,
Maine Monitoring Station. Baxter was cited for alleged
broadcasting and alleged interference caused by the broadcasts.
Baxter immediately requested reconsideration by the Field
Operations Bureau. He argued that his broadcasts were, in fact,
FCC authorized information bulletins. He also claimed that the
alleged interference was no different than that caused by the
ARRL's W1AW when it takes to the air each day.
But Smith disagreed and upheld the charges and the imposed
$1500 fine. As a result, K1MAN now says that he will take the
matter to the full Commission. On September 29th Baxter filed a
six page Petition for Review that requests the commission
undertake the resolution of the issues involved in the case.
Baxter has also issued a statement that says he will continue
to fight even if it means taking the case to the United States
Supreme Court. The government also appears to be getting ready
for a long and involved legal fight."
