Title: HB Radio #3 on 5130 1/19 EST
Post by: Andrew Yoder on January 18, 2023, 2225 UTC
Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that HB Radio #3 is on the air tomorrow night on the 5130 kHz transmitter of WBCQ at January 19 at 11 PM EST/10 Central (UTC 0400 1/20). The interview is with someone you might know, Chris Smolinski. I'd never talked to Chris before, so I had a bunch of questions written down so that I could better articulate everything on air. It was like calling up a long lost friend & we talked for 3.5 hours. I essentially tossed out the questions & just winged it. I then tried to assemble a couple of big chunks that I thought shortwave & pirate DXers would be especially interested in hearing from the interview into something that would fit into the time slot. It was kind of like piecing the continents together to form Pangea, except that I was forced to discard more than half of the continents.

If you don't typically stay up 'til 0500 or are out of the signal range of WBCQ, it's possible that it could be relayed by other outlets at a later date. Also, I can send out some MP3 copies. I still am planning to post on YouTube and/or Rumble, but I thought I'd post a grouping of shows

Thanks for your interest, patience, and/or support and hope you like the show!
Andrew

My apologies, but WeTransfer failed when I sent the show in. I just sent it again, but I heard back that they're going to re-air last month's episode tomorrow instead

When will the new program be aired then?

BTW, the Chris Smolinski interview show should be on tonight at 0400 on 5130 kHz.

Some people also asked if I could pull enough from the original interview to make another show. That one's in the process right now. It won't go on WBCQ unless I run out of time to do a show some month & use it as a back up. Otherwise, I think that one might wind up on other frequencies.

I've about assembled enough shows, I think, to set up a YouTube account (I wanted to have enough material set up that someone could listen to a show . . . & if he or she liked it, listen to another one), but now I have to get around to doing it  :)

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to listen or write!

Cool. I'll tune in. Would be interested in the YouTubes as well.

Very good program this week (2/17 UTC) with an interesting interview with Chris S.   Propagation wasn't great, but WBCQ's signal was quite listenable here.    Looking forward to next month's show.

Did anyone record the 2/17 show that they could share?

Thanks for sharing, SWLer! It sure was harder to zero in on pirates back in the 80s. I remember waiting for ACE to arrive in the mail, monthly, hoping it held clues to future broadcasts. Great show, thanks guys!
