Zeer kort uitgezonden in september 1973 vanaf de MV Columbus voor de kust van de Verenigde staten.

Verwacht niet te veel muziek, McIntire richt zich vooral tot jesus, net als het hele station.

 

Radio Free America 1973.09.19 Carl McIntire

"The preacher, the FCC and Radio Free America"

 

 

"The Rev. Carl McIntire, a fiery preacher from Collingswood who engaged in a protracted battle with the FCC over his conservative radio show, took his views to the airwaves aboard a ship off the coast of New Jersey in 1973.

 

The 135-foot former Navy minesweeper — a leaky, World War II-vintage vessel with myriad mechanical problems — sat anchored three miles off the coast of Cape May.

 

A 100-foot radio mast had been rigged amidships of the wood-hulled craft and, as a broadcast engineer tried to power up the 10,000-watt transmitter, an antenna feed line began arcing, causing the oak deck to smolder.

Pirate radio had come to New Jersey."
