YHWH:

6/17, 0403-0419, 7475/AM (S5 with the KK6PR KiwiSDR. Weird
      propagation, very weak signals on California KiwiSDRs that
      normally get YHWH very strong.)
      0403 Josiah preaching
      0419 GONE (Bandura)
6/18, 0348, 7475/AM; In progress at tune-in with Josiah Elias
      lecturing. Fair over summer static. "Good night, I love
      you, so long, good night folks" to Days of Hard Life to
      second set closing Ann, was giving Inyokern mailbox
      address @0435 (c/o Elliott, at Box 1722, Inyokern CA,
      93527) but then suddenly cut off @0437  (Barton-AZ)
6/19, 0319, 7475/AM (S9+20 with the KFS Omni KiwiSDR)
      0319 Josiah preaching (Bandura)
6/19, 0325, 7475/AM; Josiah Elias, in progress at tune-in,
      usual bits. Days of Hard Life & closing Ann 0400, a
      live cut-in at 0413 with contact 411 & off (Barton-AZ)
6/22, 0335, 7475/AM (S7 with the KFS Omni KiwiSDR)
      0335 Josiah preaching (Bandura)
6/22, 0400, 7475/AM; In progress at tune-in, must have cut-in
      between 0340 & 0400. Josiah Elias and monologue. Days
      of Hard Life/Lace cut @0424 & contact 411 @0435. Closed
      @0437. Good; S9 on Drake SW8, Slinky (Barton-AZ)
6/23, 0318. 7475/AM (S9+20 with the KB6C KiwiSDR)
      0318 Josiah preaching (Bandura)
6/24, 0314, 7475/AM; Signal was S5 with some audio, however
      in very strong lightning QRN. Checked the WebSDR North
      Utah (near Corrine, Ut.)  Found Josiah talking about
      “Yahweh God.” Quoting Old Testament Bible verses to
      make his points. 0319 ID, praying briefly into giving
      an offer for his version of the Bible, quoting ? Book,
      Chapter 24. Referring to Christian belief: "That is
      Christ.  He is the image of God." And into a section
      on how all Christians are mistaken about Christ’s
      nature. Quoting Jeremiah, 23 … "Yahweh God. We are not
      to worship any other god but Him." "What does Yahweh
      truly require of his believers?" Started fair – poor at
      the beginning with signal quickly deteriorating to
      very poor. Via Corinne, Ut Web SDR. (Taylor – WI)
6/25, 0315, 7475/AM; In progress at tune-in, usual op, "Josiah
      Elias" & the Top Ten list at 0325, then a rerun of a
      familiar taped lecture.  The strange sounding vocal song
      by Lace & closing Ann 0345. Second closer at 0352 with a
      real boost in modulation (this sounded like a realtime
      live cut-in) & shut down at 0356. Good (Barton-AZ)

UNIDs:
6/17, 0240-0242*, 6950/U; Played Trio’s “Da-da-da.” (35343,
      Hunsicker, PA)
6/17, 0247-0249*, 6960/U; Played Trio’s “Da-da-da.” (25342,
      Hunsicker, PA)
6/17, 0255-0541*, 6950/U; Saw carrier @0255. Penny Lane, then
      Here Comes the Sun, then old rock. Pleasant music, but
      the noise level was so high that listening quickly became
      annoying. Checked back from time to time & saw the carrier
      disappear @0541.  (25242, Hunsicker, PA)
6/18, 0150-0155, 6930/L (S9+10 with the K9VD KiwiSDR)
      0150 Strong carrier on and off
      0152 ON, Music on LSB
      0155 OFF (Bandura)
6/18, 0154, 6930/6928/L; on Barrington Hills IL sdr with good
      wideband S9+10 signal, pop tune then off, now on 6928/L
      with strong very wide signal. (Hassig-IL)
6/18, 0158-0200. 6928/L (S9+10 with the K9VD KiwiSDR. Same
      station as 6930 LSB a few minutes ago.)
      0158 ON; White and Nerdy by Weird Al Yankovic
      0200 OFF (Bandura)
6/19, 0059-0248*, 6974.9/AM; Carrier appeared @0059, with no
      audio. Accompanied by a nice band of local noise—thanks,
      neighbors! Heard music @0100, but the programming was
      unusable until sign-off—the signal was too weak & the
      noise too much.  (25241, Hunsicker, PA)
6/19, 0325-0331, 6955/AM (S9+30 with the K3FEF KiwiSDR)
      0325 Carrier with hardly any modulation, on and off
      0327 Now very distorted and overmodulated classical music
      0331 OFF (Bandura)
6/19, 0842-0923*, 6925/AM; Carrier appeared then audio. Caribbean
      music, a little distorted. Almost 50 dB above the background
      noise, then drops to only 15 to 20 dB above, then up to 30
      to 40 over. Carrier nubbin remained for about a half hour.
      (At best, 45343, Hunsicker, PA)
6/19, 1840-1847*, 6960/AM; Program in progress with faint music.
      The signal was never “usable.” Technical problems & gone
      @1847. At 28 dB over the noise, it should have been better.
      (Hunsicker, PA)
6/20, 0229-0328*, 6950/AM; Broadcast in progress with faint
      music. Only 16 dB above the background noise, so it never
      had a chance.  (15351, Hunsicker, PA)

COMMENTARIOS

Harold Frodge: My availability to edit the FRW has dropped
considerably. (No, I don’t have a terminal disease.) New
volunteers to edit the FRW would be greatly appreciated to
ease the extra load falling on Larry & Dave.  Volunteer!
