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 anemic 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.
I am devoting a very critical chapter about you in my new
philosophical autobiography which is being published on the internet
as I write it. See
www.K1MAN.com. Your scurrilous letter about me
will be all over the internet for many years. You and your employee,
Brian Crow, sure do take some real cheap shots! I feel truly sorry
for both of you, but I forgive you both.
God bless you and your family. You looked just great on TV last
night.
73,

Glenn Baxter, K1MAN
P.S. My book covers your many good traits as well as your very bad
ones. Let the readers and history be the judge.
Paul wrote to the Philippians, New Living Translation:
1-28. "Don't be intimidated by your enemies. This will be a sign to
them that they are going to be destroyed, but that you are going to be
saved, even by God himself."
And, in the King James Version:
4-8. "Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on
these things."
