FCC says it is because the Civil Air Patrol has a new HF fixed communications system on 7416.

Aha, so we finally have a reason.

I was actually looking forward to this as a positive development as far as my listening to WBCQ.
I am a now bit apprehensive both that it will not be at full power at first, and that 7490 kHz is simulatenously engaged by a transmitter in Kazakhstan at 301 degrees.

We'll see.

I understand WBCQ hasn't run at full power for years.

Now where did I put that xtal for 7405?

So this high-pitched hissing (like a tape machine playing while fast-forwarding, perhaps) I'm hearing on 7416 ssb (28 Oct 2011, 0600 UTC) is what displaced WBCQ? What mode is this?

Alan Weiner himself explained that it is some kind of civil aviation frequency on 7416, which is why he had to vacate 7415.
