Is the 5100 kHz band common for pirate broadcasting?  How does its usage compare with the 6900 kHz band?  What would be the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Jordan, WBCQ " The Planet" is a 100KW shortwave broadcaster in which RFW is airing a show on their station. I believe he is paying to have it aired. Hopefully this clears up any questions about it.  :)

As scheduled, it's on now with DJ Dickweed and Stavin reminiscing about the origins of Radio Free Whatever ;D
2316 UTC "WBCQ Radio Free Whatever Special", into "Weight of Love"-Black Keys
Playing examples of a QRM show, then the 1941 Time Warp show (of course being the dedicated pirate listener, I had to sneak over to 6935 to listen to Renegade battling the Stanag.... ;D)

Thanks for the program via WBCQ Comrades! There was something missing though, something that lends authenticity to your always entertainment programs. Something called propagation disturbance....and band noise!

0157 Send your empty beer cans to Dick Weed so he can scrap them out to buy more air time on WBCQ.

I was listening last night also. Was a bad night for reception here though. RFW comes in better for me on 6925 :^)  It was an enjoyable show, kind of designed to spread the pirate message to laypeople. Nothing wrong with that though. If it helps turn people on to SWLing, all the better! Thanks DW & Steven!
