Many thanks to an intrepid SWLing Post reader who shares the following FCC application from Allan Weiner at WBCQ:
I contacted Allan and asked if he could provide any details yet. His reply was almost poetic:
“It’s simple. WBCQ will be constructing one of the biggest, most powerful, most versatile shortwave transmitter and antenna systems in the world. All for free speech radio. Freedom.”
Now that is something I want to see happen! We love WBCQ!
Now, I’m trying to get Radio Survivor to cover Allan’s and WBCQ history. I’ve told them, ya want a real radio survivor? Check out this station’s history!
I listen to WBCQ when I can (usually evenings) in California, a very enjoyable station. I believe 100% in Allans approach and feel Shortwave is the best medium for true freedom of expression.
Glad to see that someone can still grow on shortwave. Grow big!!!!!!!!
Hello Da Dood !!
Also, all hail the mighty WBCQ Tickeling the Ether with beautiful Amplitude Modulation, now with less calories and no fillers.
Yes, Allan and his crew at WBCQ seem to be terrific people. Allan, hopefully the new transmitter will be capable of broadcasting digital on SW, i.e. DRM.
God bless Allan Weiner!!!
