I've been a ham for over 30 years but a real newbie to SW. I've been
listening at times to WBCQ (7.415) and am curious if this is just a SW
station that rents airtime to various people to express their views or
just what. From what little I listened this week I heard everything
from the coming one world government to Warren Buffet manipulating the
stock market.

Yes, they rent out airtime.
