A POST I MADE IN REC.RADIO.AMATEUR.POLICY

[n9ogl]

The red light rules were thrown out due to fact that they violated due
process. K1MAN fine and FO will be thrown out because 1. most of the
fine was based on the fining system in the broadcast service (see the
NAL) and therefore may of been to high of a fine in regards to the
amateur service. 2. Baxter's right to an Administrative hearing under
the Administrative Procedure Act was denied and therefore his rights
to
due process under the APA was violated. 3. the "trial de novo" that
the
FCC is referring to is a trial in the district court. The FCC can take
Baxter to the District court to collect the fine, in the district
court
Baxter can raise any challenges to any FCC rule or regulation, nor can
baxter raise any constitutional challenges, the trial de novo is a
debt
collection trial.
