This is interesting. I found Brother Stair on this frequency, and confirmed that it's WBCQ from it's telltale H3E signal that I observed on the Radio McRadioface Jersey Shore kiwiSDR. It's even listed on eibispace.de, but it's not on WBCQ's online schedule. Apparently he's on from 0330 to 2330 z, a block of transmission time similar to his broadcasts from WRMI. I was unaware that WBCQ broadcast anything on any of their frequencies outside of 2000-0500 UTC.

9930 is WTWW, did ya mean 9330? That's WBCQs freq. Brother Scare is on both freqs though.

Conditions were so bad last night I was hoping Ralph had gave up on shortwave, as I only heard him once scanning around.
I'll have to dig around, but Ralph and his followers have made into one cult watch site's, "Most likely to be the next Jonestown" list #1 spot a couple of times. When I heard of a shoot-out near Walterboro a couple of weeks back, I thought it was on.
If you've never lost family or a friend to loopy cult, you don't realize how dangerous they can be. I'm sure Tom Cruise's Dad thinks every day, "I didn't beat that boy enough when he was young."

Yes, thank you. Updated.

I knew a guy named Pat who became a Hare Krishna, and later a Russian Orthodox Christian, but that's about as close to that as I've been. It was funny how that started, because some friends and I would go to the local Krishna temple every Sunday to listen to them preach, then eat some really good vegetarian Indian food. On one occasion - this was the only time out of dozens of visits over a couple of years - the guy doing the preaching asked this friend (who was only along with us once or twice) a direct question. They NEVER singled-out anyone at any other time that we went.
Oh, he was also straight edge, and right at the time one of straight edge's leading figures, Ray Cappo of Youth of Today, joined up, leading the way for hundreds of suburban jock kids to follow. Pat was one of the only ones I knew who did that. Most of my other straight edge friends turned into potheads within a year.

I heard on World of Radio today that Brother Stair has essentially bought a 24/7 broadcasting block on WBCQ 9330. This may bump some of the broadcasts on 9330 to 5130.

I have heard that as well. I hope it's not true, because Terry Blalock always makes me laugh and it's a good thing to tune in when the pirates aren't active. 5130 has always been a tough copy for me.

What isn't Brother Scare on these days?
-
WRMI 6855 used to be Brother Stair 24/7, but this morning I have been hearing other WRMI programming, all in Spanish.

That has been true since WRMI and Stair cut his broadcasts on their transmitters way back. I'm guessing it's WRMI's doing, that even selling all that air time to him wasn't enough to pay all the bills. They shuffled other affected programming around.
BTW, I haven't noted anything at all on 9330 at night. Even checking eastern web SDR's, there's no carrier or anything there.

i think it wasnt a matter of not being to get their bills paid since WRMI constructed an exclusive 24/7 transmitter at 6.855Mhz just for Philip Stair.
i think that Philip Stair (or someone else working for him) decided to stop using the 6.855Mhz transmitter, probably seeing to it that the coverage is pretty poor at 6.855Mhz when comparing it to other available frequencies and transmitters being used in different locations by other stations with their antenna beam azimuth in more favorable directions.

It's all speculation anyway. Stair is still on 6855, just not around the clock.

ah ok, anyways, i really miss shortwave radio from the 70's & 80's (not intending to hi-jack the discussion thread)
i had this exact radio, the zenith trans-oceanic, it had great sound and excellent reception, those were the days nearly all of the bands were populated with a plethora with a variety of interesting stuff.

imagine if they moved WRMI from 6915Khz to 6925Khz instead of 6855Khz ? :D

I remember there was speculation that the FCC gave them 6915 to mess with pirates, before they were moved because they were interfering with MARS nets. I suppose if that had been the FCC's intent, they would have ended up at 6925 or 6950. Either way, it's a good thing that our unlicensed hobbyists have more spectrum to play with, isn't it? ;D

yes it sure is, as long as we dont occupy a frequency and its bandwidth used, that is already occupied by another entity, and as long as we dont interfere with anyone and bother anyone, id say its all good then ;)
