Use it or lose it: 9650 is also one of the frequencies planned for WIPE, the DRM/HF trading crypto pending in NJ, as per the drmnainfo blog: ``Frequencies are stated to be 9650, 11850, 13720 and 15450 kHz.

Recheck at 0022, Freddy is just now being let go! Whew. Allan then says he has been working on rebuilding #1 transmitter; the one donated by WRMI, just waiting for Tim Tron to come up from Skowhegan and put the finishing tuneups on it. TT seems putting off coming to Monticello, despite low COVID-19 rate there. I think AW said or implied it`s the #3 transmitter which is currently on 7490, but also mentioned a #2. I wish we had a clear roster of all six WBCQ SW transmitters, by number and which frequency they occupy. Has the ex-WRMI unit hauled from FL last year, ever been on the air yet at WBCQ? All except the 500 kW, i.e. ``classic WBCQ`` have to be rewired for single-phase power. At 0030 A&A get into discussing conspiracy theories, this week coming off a bit milder. Now I check the other frequencies at Rochester remotes: 5130 is S7-S8; 3265 nothing; 6159.9 is S9; 7490 no signal! 9330 WLCR in Portuguese is S6-S7. ``Biden can`t win since he`s partially demented``. O yeah? 0050 about an hour late, word arrives that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. On his best behavior AW does not denounce her as a socialist/communist, but ``may she be reunited with our lord and savior in heaven; RIP``. Wait a minute, she`s Jewish! But so was AW, originally, so he should know the difference. Before they finish at 0100, I check Alexandria VA SDR for 7490 and it`s OK there, S9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6970-AM, Sept 19 at 0238, JBA carrier while I am still getting Ballsmacker on much stronger 6960; another pirate?
