WBCQ 5130 AM 2330 UTC 25 APR 2026
« on: April 25, 2026, 2328 UTC »
Tuned in at 2330 UTC on 5128 kHz AM. Unidentified pirate station broadcasting stoner rock music followed by what appeared to be a documentary on the history of marijuana. Signal received in Eastern Canada. No station ID heard. Signal moderate strength with some fading. Exact frequency 5128.8 kHz.

Still going with some swing :P

First ever post and brand new to this, so apologies if I mess something up!

This is WBCQ's "Area 51" frequency transmission, Timtron is a host on Saturdays.  WBCQ is a private shortwave broadcaster out of Maine - they use a few frequencies but mostly known for 7490.

Welcome to the board hmp.  :D
