(in article ): For a brief period during the late '90s, I owned a DX-392 radio and absolutely loved listening to all the bizarre and batty stuff that I could get my hands on. Programs like "the Hal Turner Show" (impassioned anti-semetic and anti-government propaganda interlaced with endless new world order conspiracies) and Radio Habana (which sometimes seemed to erupt into nothing but screaming announcers blasting the "imperialistic American DOGS") were my favorites. http://www.wbcq.com/ http://www.whri.com/ http://www.wrmi.net/pages/714010/index.htm http://www.wwcr.com/ +++++++++++ http://www.wwrb.org/ This one requires a little explanation. From my radio page (much, much out of date) is this comment: Shortwave Broadcaster from Manchester, TN.* [was WGTG, then WWFV, now WWRB] The location may also have changed, Frank Dresser and I tend to follow the freaks but I've moved + have health problems so Frank is undoubtedly /much/ more up-to-date than I. On the last mentioned station; if I correctly remember: WGTG - World Glory to God WWFV - World Wide Freedom's Voice WWRB - World Wide Religious Broadcasting This is, along with WBCQ, the only interesting stations in and of themselves. WBCQ is Allan Weiner who is from the old "pirate" days and is just "nice to listen to" as in "one of the good guys". In nearly all comparisons with other broadcasters, Weiner would come in first as an old 70's guy (I betcha he knows all of the words to all of the verses of "Kumbaya" [not a slam, I do, too]. BUT, WAIT! There's mo Cut to Brother R. G. Stair (as in "Stairway to Heaven"). You may know Bro Stair from your adventures in the 1990's. [My own break in time was from a 38B and a 54A in the late 50's and early 60's so I had no idea of who he was/is.] [cut to somebody's biography-description of Bro Stair] Anyway, Brother Stair has come darn close to keeping radio stations on the air by his tremendous of amount of air time purchased. Cut to "David Frantz", owner and operator of WWRB (under the above-mentioned various incarnations). [Sidebar: If you're familiar with Milton William Cooper - generally "Bill Cooper" - he and Allan Weiner made a mighty defense - on this newsgroup - of Cooper's show as WBCQ and Cooper's show were crankin' up. Cooper - later and in most folks' opinions - committed "suicide by cop".] So: back to David Frantz (sometimes spelled "Franz"). And "Frantz Rants" ("Franz Rants" or "Franz Rantz"). These were short broadcasts (5-10 minutes each) in which - most of the time - Frantz was temper-tantruming the "militia/pay-triots" when they weren't, apparently, paying their bills, and religious broadcasters when they weren't, apparently, paying /their/ bills. Franz used ta be on this ng although he denied it was he (which was pretty stupid). This was, iirc, about the time he took his radio station to SSB! Again, iirc, not all broadcasts but darn close to it. [At the time, I had a DX-398 (909) and DX-392 (818) and the 392 is exceptionally good for SSB, so I listened toi quite a few of the SSB programs. Eventually, the SSB episode didn't last terribly long.] From somewhere I have a recollection that Frantz built that station for Brother Staie but Stair, apparently, wanted the "pink slip" and Frantz was smart enough to refuse. So that's a little [grin]. Gray Shockley ---------------- DX-392 DX-398 RX-320 CCradio+ w/RS Loop Justice AM Antenna Torus Tuner (3-13 MHz) Select-A-Tenna --------------------- Vicksburg, MS US |
