TONIGHT, MAY 1, AT 7:00PM, AT THE PORTLAND AMATEUR WIRELESS ASSOCIATION
MEETING

American Legion Post 413 Broadway South Portland, Maine
Ever wonder what it is like to run a clandestine shortwave radio station?

Allan Weiner knows a great deal about that, and more. Starting when he was a
teenager during the Vietnam era, using a converted WW2 transmitter, Weiner
has been on the air in several incarnations. First as a radio pirate during
his teens and 20s, and now as the proud owner of a legal shortwave station,
WBCQ on 7.415mHz, based in Monticello, Maine.

Allan will speak about licensed and pirate radio stations, including some of
the famous early 1980s pirates, Radio New York International, which
broadcasted from a ship in international waters. His relationships with
legendary British pirate Radio Caroline, with several Christian evangelists
and their attempts to establish offshore radio broadcasts from international
waters, as well as Weiner's involvement on the legal side of radio, with
legal stations in Yonkers, New York and Aroostook County, Maine.

This is a opportunity to get the inside scoop in it from somebody who was
one of the key players. Allan is an example of the best aspects of the 1960s
in action - idealistic, resourceful, willing to pursue his goals rather than
pursuing social status, desiring and working for peace and individual
freedom his belief of low cost access to the airwaves for everyone.

This is a free presentation, Allan is a wonderful storyteller and a very
dynamic speaker and we invite everyone with an interest in radio to attend!
See you there!
