Primitive Baptists on Shortwave

A new addition to my website:
David Summerford hosts the Lighthouse Bible Study on WWCR every Thursday from 1830-1900 on 15825.


And an older one:

The Baptist Bible Hour is sponsored by the Primitive Baptists. They are primarily found in the Mid-South, or in places where there are many Mid-Southerners. I have visited one in Michigan. They sing beautiful four part acapella hymns.

WJR is apparently not running IBOC at night. I've checked several times recently and have not heard it. This is a good change for Michiganders to hear WSB, as that is loud and clear lately. I also suspect WJR is running below 50w, something that has been rumored for awhile, as there is little QRM when tuned to WSB.
