Glenn A. Baxter Obituary ex-K1MAN SK

Glenn A. Baxter
1942 - 2017

BELGRADE - Glenn Albert Baxter, 75, died May 5, 2017, at Maine General Medical Center, Augusta, after a strong, courageous battle with lymphoma cancer.

Glenn was born the son of Frank and Marion ("Sunny") Watson Baxter and grew up in Scarsdale, N.Y., having spent summers in Maine from the age of 9. He became a full-time Maine resident in 1977 and met Bonnie Richardson in April, 1979. They married one year later in April of 1980 and lived in Belgrade on Great Pond, that Glenn often referred to as his "paradise."

He loved being on the water and was an expert at navigating his way around the waters of Great Pond in his two old wooden boats that he and Bonnie and their friends enjoyed for many years.

As a student at Northwestern University for two years, Glenn was a member of the football team and religiously followed their games each season cheering them on from afar! He later attended and graduated from the University of Rhode Island as an Industrial Engineer and proudly acquired his Registered Professional Engineering license (RPE) for Illinois and Maine.

As a HAM I supported him in his fight against arrl and fcc. Why should arrl have the lone cartel/monopoly on HAM broadcasting?

I heard a guy in the AM window on 40 meters absolutely savaging Baxter on hearing of his death a couple of weeks back. He called Baxter everything but a human being.

Baxter could be a pain in the ass, but there was a reasoning behind his actions. I hear the guy who was knocking him on 40 and 75 everyday, and he never complains about the general chaos that rules on 75/80. He has no problems with cranking the power to run off SSB ops daring to operate near "his" frequency either.
