Title: WBCQ 7490 AM off air, using 6160 AM (July 10 back on 7490)
Post by: Ct Yankee on June 28, 2026, 2210 UTC

I went to tune in to WBCQ 7490 AM at 2145 UTC and no broadcast, not even a carrier.  Found this on their Facebook site:


"Due to technical problems with our 7.490 khz transmitter, we have temporarily switched all 7.490 programming to 6.160 khz. We are working to restore our 7.490 services as soon as possible. You may also listen on our online stream as usual. We apologize for any inconvenience."

I barely hear any of their frequencies anymore, even on the K3FEF WebSDR that's nearby in PA.

Their ALLISS module sits idle now after the flat earth church went downhill financially. It's now finally available for airtime leasing, we should do a group buy on some regular blocks for the upcoming winter holidays  ;D
