WBCQ to broadcast time (Confirmed)
« on: August 22, 2026, 0956 UTC »
While scurrying around the house last night prior to my kids/grandkids arriving today, I had WBCQ on (Aug 22 0030-0100 7490 am) tuned to Allan's show.  Allan went on about CHU going off air.  He then said he was working with Time-Nuts to begin broadcasting a CHU type of time station on WBCQ.  I missed the frequency and start date but sent an email to confirm and provide details.

I'll keep you posted.
