18:10 UTC - The signal is not making it up my way. The band is currently dead, no propagation. Even the 40 metre band is pretty much inactive. That matches up with what I currently see in Ham CAP.

1842 - S9-ish on an SDR in the mid-Atlantic US. A little bit of audio distortion on low frequencies.
2014 - Still on the air. I wasn't aware that RNYI had an internet stream and yes, Johnny Lightning does have "the gift of gab", doesn't he?
2039 - Tone sequence and "WBOG" jingle. Carrier off the air.

Caught a mention of "Psychotic piece of S**t"  ;D

Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy. I'm right here reading this, for crying out loud.  :D

I don't STRETCH the truth.

1842 - S9-ish on an SDR in the mid-Atlantic US. A little bit of audio distortion on low frequencies. Since it doesn't look to be overmodulated, it's probably just a slight overdoing of the low frequency audio and could be fixed with a equalizer.

Listened to it via one of the Westminster, MD, receivers. Good signal with lots of talk of current US politics & clear IDs. I think JL said he's definitely planning to vote for Trump in '24 . . . or maybe not

JPL hated Trump's ex-lawyer Giuliani when he was Mayor of NYC. Rudy shut down all of Johnny's favorite porn store's, the SOB. His tirades
about Rudy in the early years of WBCQ were epic. You don't mess with a man's porn.
