[Swprograms] WBCQ Program Notes

["William Martin" <wgmartin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The online zappahead.net WBCQ program schedule hasn't
been updated since June 2, and I've been making lots
of notes on my printed-out copy as I listen to or tune across
WBCQ, so here's some info:

UT Sun 0400, 7415, Tom & Darryl: Usually been well received here in St. 
Louis
but they persist in using some lady to read otherwise-interesting news items
and she has a terrible delivery cadence and much trouble pronouncing many
terms. This last one on 7/10/05 sounded interesting with a technical
discussion of satellite receivers and the market for them but then turned
out to be an old repeat from July 2000!!!!!! What a waste of time to
discover that after skipping Cyberline in order to devote my attention
to *this* program!

The former "Duh News" timeslot at UT Tues 2330 on 7415 has been carrying
World of Radio at some dates (6/21 and 7/12) but on 7/5/05 it had that
all-too-common open-phone-line sound of the phone ringing and then
the automated voice saying "if you want to make a call...". That finally
cut off and they had fill music and then ran a ham-radio program.

UT Wed 0430, 7415 did NOT go off-air after "Herald of Truth" ended
but continued with music until 0500 on 7/13/05.

A similar late-music-after-normal-signoff-time at UT Sat 0430 on 7/9/05
on 7415 kHz but that didn't last as long.

I never hear anything during the listed "RMF Show" time at 0330 UT Sun
on 9330 kHz. Is this propagation to me here or is the transmitter taken
off-air following World of Radio on 9330 from 0300-0330 UT (which
often runs late -- went to 0341 on 6/26/05)?

I never get around to tuning in WBCQ on Saturday evenings until
later, so I am always missing Marion's Attic at 0100 UT Sun. Please lobby
WBCQ to repeat that program at multiple other times or move it. I'd
sure rather hear it than one of the multiple Allan Weiner Worldwide repeats.
Also, did "Radio Classics" at 0000 UT Sun ever actually appear? There were
repeated announcements of it and then also repeated comments that
the producer/sponsor disappeared and so I never did hear definintely
that it was on the air. (Both the above on 7415.)

73, Will
