[Swprograms] IBC Radio: Coming to Philadelphia as a Part 15 broadcaster? Or back on shortwave?



You may remember that part of WRMI's air time was taken up by the IBC Radio Network, a "penny stock" company that seemed to be in the business of...well...promoting penny stocks, with programs about the paranormal and international broadcasting relays (now there's a combination for you) rounding out their schedule.
 
IBC's shortwave presence was checkered...they implied they were interested in extensive use of shortwave, then abruptly disappeared from the air, instead announcing a sketchy plan to be on the local broadcast bands.
 
Now they're apparently back on 7330 khz 24/7 according to their own website...but nothing was audible above noise here in Eastern PA at 0340 UT on 6 April.
 
Turns out they're also apparently building out a bunch of low power (FCC Part 15, 100 mW) AM stations to be set up in the Philadelphia region, according to Scott Fybush's "Northeast Radio News" (see http://www.fybush.com/NERW/2004/040329/nerw.html#pa), with 1610 kHz as their planned frequency.
