  • WBCQ is a shortwave radio station operating at Monticello, Maine, USA. The station is owned and operated by Allan Weiner, who also owns and operates WXME 780 kHz and WBCQ-FM 94.7 MHz at the shortwave site. WBCQ began operation in 1998 with just the WBCQ-1 transmitter on 7415 kHz. WBCQ's shortwave antennas are all beamed directionally: primarily at 245 degrees, and secondarily at 65 degrees. Since its inception, Weiner has held fast to a philosophy that the First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, and has run the station on this basis as a trustee of the public airwaves. Accordingly, WBCQ often subsidizes shows by varying groups of religious and political entities, as well as by individuals playing various forms of music, novelty records, audiobooks and self-recorded material. Otherwise, the station also transmits numerous talk shows and other programs produced by commercial networks as well as former pirate radio broadcasters, such as Weiner himself and his erstwhile collaborators. Unlike Weiner's former pirate radio stations, now relegated to well-documented history, WBCQ and its AM & FM sister stations are licensed by the FCC under his own name.
  • WBCQ es una estación de radio de onda corta que opera desde Monticello, Maine, Estados Unidos de América. La emisora empezó a transmitir en 1998 con sólo un transmisor, WBCQ-1, en los 7415 kHz. La programación consiste en programas religiosos, cómicos, musicales y de entretenimiento, siendo muy común que la mayoría de ellos estén ligados con la radio pirata, ya que muchos de sus conductores operaron alguna vez una emisora ilegal.
