WA1HLR on 3885 kHz Amplitude Modulated. Heard on a Grundig S350 with the built in telescoping whip.

The operator converts AM BC transmitters to 160 and 80 meters.

Has a colorful web presence.

Oh wow. Tim -- WA-1-H-Yell-R! No idea he was still holding forth on 3885. I listened to him on my earliest SW receiver in the late '60s! Colorful doesn't begin to describe him.
 
I don't know Tim personally, though I did know another Tim Smith, but Timothy was his middle name. I gathered that he has connections to RNI and WBCQ.

I don't know him either. I just remember listening to his AM ramblings in my teenage SWL years in suburban Boston right through the late '80s, when my interest in monitoring the HF bands started to fade. I think he was in Skowhegan, Maine, the last time I heard him; in the early days, he operated out of Rockport (which he would call "Porkrot"), Massachusetts. I gathered he was some sort of technical whiz kid, but other than that knew nothing about him.
