I didn't last night, but I have many times before.

WBCQ is a national treasure for SWL's.

For me, he most enjoyable thing about WBCQ is that can tune it in once an
hour in any four consecutive hours, and it will seem like four different
radio stations -- you never know WHAT you'll hear on WBCQ (well, unless you
check their program guide -- but why spoil the surprise!).

I have high hopes that WRMI in Miami will follow their lead. I used to
enjoy them when the IBC "network" was on the air there.

- True;

They are starting a $100,000 fund raising drive to Get Off The Grid and
Go to Wind Generated power;

On AWW last night Allan figured if each listener mails in just $10.00 it'll be
enough

Is he saying that only 10,000 people listen to the station?

That's not much of an audience.

10,000 listeners is pretty good compared to the # of people

I heard that. Can he really get a used 500kw wind turbine up and running
for only $100,000?

Frank Dresser

10 dollars each? I see Al's learned a lot in his association with Brother Stair.

How true Stinger. In my living room listening post, I usually keep the DX-100
(my 1st receiver) tuned to it.

I did a little tuning on that piece tonight and have left it on for the last
three days in a row. I never noticed before but when I was listening to 'Amos
& Andy' the other night, another station was pretty close.

I switched it to ssb and tuned the bfo and then the fine tuning and it was
'crystal'..and I mean crystal clear. ...completely got rid of that station.

Brought back the joy of using my first piece. What do you think about just
leaving a receiver on all the time? A friend of mine said "it wouldn't hurt
it".....but my thinking is "why have it on if I'm not home or thirty miles
away?"

Once it warms up good (hour or two) it doesn't drift, so I don't see the
thinking in leaving it on all the time unless I want a short lived mint DX100.
;-)

But back to WBCQ, it really is one of the finest going around the bands IMO.
BTW, I have the DX399 next to the 100 in case I gotta know the exact freq.:-)
That's a hot little receiver in its own rite.

I have high hopes that WRMI in Miami will follow their lead.

I know I've heard them or about them. What does the letters stand for and
where are they on the dial?

Thanks:-)

GB--

WRMI stands for "Radio Miami International."

They have a nice webpage he http://www.wrmi.net/ , and they broadcast on
7385, 9955, and 15725 kHz.

You can see their broadcast pattern he
http://www.wrmi.net/images/100_nacovg.jpg (also linked on their main page).

As I mentioned before, the IBC radio network used to broadcast over WRMI,
and they had some interesting listening. You can see their schedule he
http://www.ibcradio.com/radioschedule.htm . They have a lot of
paranormal-themed programs like Whitley Strieber's "Dreamland" and "The Lou
Gentile Show" which are interesting if you're a fan of broadcasts like Art
Bell's. It's "Midnight Radio," but you don't have to stay up as late.

If you click on "How to Listen" and then "Shortwave" it says that they're on
7.330 MHz 24/7. However, I've checked in a couple of times and I have yet
to hear them there. The only listings I see for that freq. are from some
Russian-based broadcasters.
