Oh man how I'd love to have a show on that giant! But the exposed transmission lines wouldn't want to be around those especially during thunderstorms. I've experienced a lot with covered transmission lines! I'd like to do a show playing all kinds of music David's Dusty discs show and or on UFO's.. my experiences, others experiences, being on ships all the stories! Can I do ads to make money to pay for everything? Maybe do a two to 4 hour show. Maybe an overnight slot. I know Art Bell beat me total but haste idea way before he did it. Charlie Douglas was on at number that WWL in70's 50,000 watts at night overnight for the professional trucker. What a great audience and idea and made money to pay the power bill lol:) also when in El Paso in 1979 across the border at XEROX 80 was 50,000 watts during the day and 150,000 watts at night clear channel. I think Canada had CKLW on 80 they would fight when you were far enough away. Oh those were the days. My days. Today I have a 25 watt community station non profit lol:) why not go online make money? If I had a place the room and could make the monthly payments... I would. But my daughter's house... no room. One day maybe. Hope soon because I getting old. Radio days over I guess.. but really enjoyed this video! What's great station, bet it costs lot to power that baby! Probably hear it in the next galaxy! Cool!
Hij heeft helemaal gelijk met de stelling dat ze nu die middengolfzenders uitzetten omdat het te duur zou zijn, maar dat die middengolfzenders weldegelijk nog nut hebben. In noodsituaties en bij calamiteiten kun je de bevolking altijd en overal bereiken met een landelijk dekkende middengolfzender. Die fm zenders en dab zenders en mobiel internet op die smartphones daar kunnen we niet op vertrouwen want die vallen meteen al uit als er iets mocht gebeuren. En wat betreft de stroomkosten van middengolfzenders.....wat kosten al die fm zender en dab zenders bij elkaar om die netwerken in de lucht te houden dan? Ik denk dat die netwerken niet goedkoper zijn in stroomverbruik.
What a Monster antenna of engineering. I have only personally heard religious broadcasts from it in California. Maybe when it rotates somewhere else they broadcast other things.
Well done report on WBCQ and great video of the new antenna system for the new station. Interesting about the new 500,000 watt WBCQ shortwave station that appears to be funded by World’s Last Chance, LLC, a Wyoming corporation and ministry headed by Galal P. Doss, a former Seventh-Day Adventist and cosmetics company owner from Egypt, with a track record of making bizarre prophecies, and claiming the earth is flat. Doss will be broadcasting exclusively on the new 500K shortwave 24/7 promoting his flat earth and religious beliefs most likely later in 2019 or 2020. Although Doss is presumably paying for the new transmitter and antenna with a million dollar plus investment and paying for the broadcast time, Alan Weiner and his sister remain the owners of WBCQ and it's FCC shortwave broadcast license from the FCC.
I believe WRNO Worldwide had (or possibly has?) An AM/FM/SW trio. The original WRNO was (is?) a popular FM broadcaster. The shortwave station came later. I saw WRNO on a tour in 1985. At that time, they also owned a Spanish formatted daytimer.
@@roostertn um, they do. But more to the point, counterpoint is not letting any batshit crazy lunatic with an inferiority complex have an open stage and be taken seriously. Sometimes there are not two sides to every story, sometimes there are nine. And sometimes there is no story at all. Holocaust deniers don't get to demand equal time and consideration as they have nothing to offer humanity. People who spout on about racist shit, invented stats, and made up pedophile rings in pizza parlors should understand that the first amendment gives you the right to speak, not to be taken seriously. Giving equal time to diverse voices is crucial. Giving equal value to ALL voices, no matter what they say, is a perfect way to destroy a democracy.
I remember listening around 1 AM to WBCQ on 7415 Kilocycles I loved the programs hadn't heard them in ages

I have been a huge fan of radio (both programming and the magic of the medium) since I was a kid in the 60s. I have loved shortwave since the 80s 👍🏼.
👍🏼👍🏼
Great piece! I'm a big fan of WBCQ!
FANTASTIC! The new shortwave station with the antenna from AMPEGON would be nice to play with. A HAM operators dream.... 73's pa2pgu
I really appreciate your comment for many years now thanks I have been listening to shortwave for 40 years.
I have a few years on you and I still listen to shortwave radio. I've just gone from a AM only Japanese radio to using one of my GF radio. 73, OM
Allan was part of the 1987 Pirate Broadcast with Hank and Jim and Ivan. with the fishing boat they towed out of Long Island
I wish there were more people like Allan H. Weiner in the radio business. What a blessing he is to the world.
I Concur !
Jah mon!

It all boils down to . . . money.
Oh this was 5 years ago you guys still the same?
Nice video, man. WBCQ rules!
That is a big antenna
the real Radio

Rebel in search of a cause was the first thing I thought of when I saw him. What is his back story? Just curious.

And how many listeners do they have?
From somewhere in the mediterranean it's "the voice of peace" 80-82
Basically, he'd put the Joe Stalin and Pol Pot Show on the air if it made him money.
And what's different with the standard bearers? Ooh that's right, A/NBC/ C/PBS will NEVER allow a counter point.

@@Putaspellonyou Democratic Republic..NOT a democracy
Lol
It's the same antenna type like in Nauen, Germany.
What sort of antenna is it, stacked dipoles ? What kind of feeding network do the dipoles have ?
Leuk, man!
perfecte documentaire
Stereotool?

Where is this facility?

Website looks hijacked :-(
Да, радива эта вам ни хирен сабачачий😮
Andr'e I thought it was RNYI for a minute or radio Monique, from the North Sea.
Great information., but please ditch the useless background music.
Trust fund baby
I like WBCQ, but Alan and Angela's weekly "Praise God and fuck the constitution" program drives away non-religious listeners. Just saying.
