Ok thanks, I see I need to be looking for oddities among the regular stations to find what we're here for. Thanks!

Welcome, Wedergarten! That's a commercial station, transmitting from Maine. Among the programs they carry are a few otherwise free/pirate operators.

I checked out their broadcasting service, it says 1$ a minute but nowadays, I'm sure you can get more time for a better deal. I wonder if theres any merit to this for advertising certain kinds of projects? Given this niche, some listeners must be more tech savvy to be able to participate in newer types of tech no?

Thats about as good a deal as youll find on any stations with a signal worth a shite and with good audio, stuff WBCQ doesnt really have on 5130/6160/7490.  THey dont lease time on 9330 to anyone.

When you lease time on WRMI, as i do a few times a year, you deal directly with the owner, Jeff.  If you buy time more often and in big blocks, you sometimes get a better deal.  I have
