Listening around the 8MHz aero band yesterday afternoon around 0500UTC/5pm local I notice this splatter and noise level increase at a sort of 'voice' randomness, just like when you're listening to an AM BC band station off-tune. I lost it in the higher noise levels over 9MHz so I followed it down and found Bro Stair doing his usual rantings on 7730kHz with a huge signal - below that that frequency - no splatter - above - lots of it. Very obvious on my waterfall, just like he was over-modulated on the USB only. If he's still doing it this afternoon I'll take a screen shot.

The station name is as it appears on EiBi - I have never listened to the 'genuine' Brother Stair so if the speaker is an imposter I wouldn't know. All I do know is that he needs to attend to his transmitter!

EiBi doesn't put the station down all the time, sometimes they use the name of the program instead. What you heard might be WRMI, or another US domestic SW broadcaster. In cases like this, you might try using Short-wave.info, as their listings are about as up to date and they have an accompanying map that places the transmitter, power, beam in degrees, etc.

If you go to Short-wave.info and enter 7730 Khz it shows Brother Stair / "Overcomer Ministry" from WRMI in Okeechobee, FL, 100kw, beam 285 degrees during the 0100-0800 GMT time slot.

We will be hearing his recordings at least until October, I think. His "church" had funding until then. I bet we will be hearing his recordings for a long time, just like we are still hearing Gene Scott recordings...
The mortal flesh is weak. He will live forever as an electromagnetic being. There's enough recordings to go at least 20 years without repeats. Got $2 million dollars from some rapper that was a fan of his before. The transmissions will go well into 2030 and nothing will change in the USA shortwave landscape.

Yeah. Hard to take that we'd probably not have any US shortwave presence without Brother Stair and Dr. Gene Scott.... I remember when Dr. Gene Scott had a cable TV network running 24x7.... quite a strange thing to watch with the varying camera angles.

Was listening a couple of weeks ago to an episode of "Ask WWCR" and the show announcer confirmed this 100%. I don't think I'd ever heard that announcer sound so self-satisfied...
