WRKO Shortwave Re-broadcast Allen Weiner Interview 6935 AM 2137 UTC 1 JAN 2024

<< < (2/3) > >>

Molvania Poacher:
SINPO=45444

2150- Three OMs (one of them Allan Weiner) reminiscing about their former off-shore broadcasting exploits in 1971, and how the FCC was run and treated them. After being arrested for allegedly violating The Communications Act of 1934, he was asked "What are you in for?" to which they replied, "Running a radio station!"

sgreenstreet:
2150:  got the 2 OM on the Pittsburgh KiwiSDR. S2  -- barely above the QRN.

"What are you in for?" to which they replied, "Running a radio station!"

--- End quote ---

I'm thinking there is a bit of poetic license by Weiner with his story, very much like the "Alice's Restaurant" lyrics/self effacing humor:
"What were you arrested for, kid?"
And I said, "Littering."

Excellent reception
2201 This is same broadcast/frequency as post of WRKO Shortwave from earlier in day.

dxace1:
Conversation ats of 2203 UTC -- signal very good at Maryland.

Kestrel:
2200 recorded broadcast about operating a pirate radio station on a Honduras-registered boat and being accosted by the U.S. Coast Guard and the FCC for allegedly violating the Communications Act.
