(7489v), July 10 at 0000-0101, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`; after WTO, first fiddling with microphones, says trimulcasting on 7490, 6160 and 3265; has hardly started when allows a caller to interrupt, Bill in Wyoming who can copy only one word out of three on 7490 and wants to know about the SuperStition being off. Will get to that later. Then another call from Tim, the same guy who two weeks ago was finally cut off when he was quoting Tom Metzger of Aryan Resistance, objecting to Larry Will`s retort then and rambles on and on. 0017 Allan starts trying to cut him off. Then Allan is really pissed about the SS situation; Angela hardly says a word during the hour except to murmur assent. The big PA tube came apart and there is no spare. No one has seen anything like this before. Blames manufacturing defect by Thal?s in France. Costs $200K. Does not say anything about it being insured or under warranty as I have wondered. Looking for substitute/replacement and a new tube is on order but they are custom-made. Is fed up too with Windows 10 computer control of transmitter, with no manual override. Paid top dollar for this stuff and it keeps breaking down. Manufacturers are passing the buck rather than rushing out to fix things. *THEY* are working on shutting down WBCQ; won`t say who, but surely not sister Barbara? Now says the tube costs $210K, broke like cheap glass or ceramic from China. May get Chinese to come and work on it (?really?). Transmitter has never run right at full power; Angela implies it`s been at half-power. Can`t get antenna crews in either despite pay available of $1500/day. ``I`ve had it -- burned out.`` 0035 another caller suggests that TimTron is not the engineer to depend on. Allan really blows his top about this, lauds TT as the best transmitter engineer; but because of health problems he has not been to Monticello in a sesquiyear; hopes he can visit soon. He got sick after his last visit, pre-COVID. Cuts off caller and swears at him, warns everybody not to criticise WBCQ staff or family on the air. (? Free Speech has its limits). 0039 says the broken tube weighs 200-250 lbs so needs equipment merely to lift it. At 0049 I check the Rockport, Maine remote, and find VG signals on all three frequencies: 3265 + 157 Hz at S9+15/20; 6160 -106 Hz at S9+10/15; 7490 -102 Hz at S9/+10. I continue listening to those instead of web. 0053 finally datestamp as 9 July YOOL 2021. 0057 admires Jimmy & Rosalyn Carter on their 75th wedding anniversary and hopes his marriage last as long (? at age 67 +70? = 137, I doubt it). Time for just a few e-mails, but runs over to 0101.5, cut to Hal Turner in progress. Here`s John Carver`s version: ``Tonight's show started on time this evening on both 6160 and 7490 with 7490 again having the better signal. Allan and Angela in the studio. Opening talk about a new mic for Angela. Phone call at 0005 from a gentleman asking about the absence of 9330 lately. Allan said he was going to talk about that later in the show. Caller said he was only getting about every third word of the broadcast. Allan then states they are also broadcasting on 3265 but I don't check as I would have to readjust antenna tuner and pre-selector. Another phone call at 0009. Caller was complaining about Larry Will complaining about him during the program two weeks ago. Then some more talk of socialists and communists. Finally started to talk about the problems with 9330 and the tube that went out on the big transmitter. Allan stated that they had a new tube on order but later said that they might not use the same type of tube again and were looking into other replacements. Also said he was considering having the Chinese build him a new tube. He mentioned that the big antenna needed some work done on it and so far the company isn't sending over a crew to work on it. Allan digresses a bit and briefly talks again about how "they" are trying to drive WBCQ off the air. Back to 9330, Allan states that they were looking into some other transmitters to take up some of the slack on 9330 but no other details. Phone call at 0035 asks if TimTron had been working on the 9330 transmitter and said that TimTron wasn't the one to work on it. Allan got very upset, kicked the man off the phone and then had a mini rant defending TimTron. Said that no one could call and attack any of the staff at WBCQ or Angela and expect him to stay quiet about it. He spent some time saying that TimTron was the best transmitter engineer that he knew of. He also defended his decision to continue to broadcast Brother Stair. Then a brief about Jimmy Carter's wedding anniversary and how he hoped that he and Angela could last that long. Reading of emails at 0057 and quick closing prayer at 0059 and program was off at 0101.
