Possible but rare for him to be off the air for this long.


I don't think he has been off the air. Perhaps he's on less
frequently, or has changed the times he goes live.

In addition to the prophet's 24/7/365 broadcast and net feed, he's
also on loads of AM stations (probably FM too) for a few hours per
day. Here in NYC he has 3 hours or so every night at 02:00 or so on
620kHz. These seem to be quite current -- he discusses the news, reads
letters, and has been pushing his 3-day group fast (scheduled for this
weekend, believe). I occasionally listen to these hours (there's
something compelling about the guy -- and when he plays tape of the
abusive phone calls he gets, it's great!) My impression is he's still
broadcasting.

I think what he does is a few hours of new program every day or so and
those hours are "privileged". That is, those are the ones he
broadcasts over stations where he only has a few hours. So while the
shortwave feed may be 90% repeats, the short mediumwave shows are much
more "new."

See if he's on a local AM where you are, especially for only an hour
or two. If so, listen to that programming, as it'll give a better
sense of what he's been up to lately. My 2 cents, anyways.
