It probably was a ham. A lot of those guys run converted broadcast transmitters in that part of the AM window. There was guy in the early part of the century that had regular nightly broadcasts on that frequency. His aim, or so he said, was to preserve the frequency for AM use. His motto was "Use it or lose it".

With him yapping away, playing music, and interviewing people, for 5 hours at a time in the evening, no one could use the frequency. He would even use a ham call in the broadcasts and a name. If they were really his he was a real nimrod. He ran for roughly six months and disappeared from the band after going to Dayton to cover the hamfest. I wonder who or what he encountered there?

I've heard these "Hams behaving badly" on this frequency over the years. Some of the rigs they use have been modified to the max and they are proud of their audio and flaunt it for all to hear. But if an unlicensed pirate tries to make inroads on this coveted frequency, the HBB's will likely show up at said pirate ops residence with weapons of mass destruction.  :)

"Strapping Signal, Old Man!"


You'll hear "Timtron" the engineer at WBCQ on this frequency at times as well as 3775. Tim is a well behaved ham who lives in a bus in ice cold Maine. He likely runs that heavy iron tube transmitter as a heat source.
