YHWH

7475/AM, 0227, 8/23; Josiah’s voice detectable; poor in QRN. May be a touch below 7475. (Frodge-MI)

YHWH 8/25, 1520, 11840/AM. In progress at tune-in, usual operator, monologue on sharing with the hungry, similar topics. Ten Commandments and anti-war bits nearer the next hour. A sign-off ann, Days of Hard Life at 1606, then went into anti-Catholic lecture before going off at 1613. Usual Rx with good peaks, really deep fades. (Barton-AZ)

YHWH 8/24, 0345, 7475/AM; In progress at tune-in with Days of Hard Life, closing ann by usual operator (sounded like new material), "Good night, folks" & off. All the time, hammered by bursts from OTHR radar - unknown source. – Fair to Good (Barton-AZ)

YHWH 8/23, 0300, 7475/AM; in progress at tune-in with Ten Commandments of "YAH-ha-VAY". Usual operator, and with 0315Z ID, then the anti-flag bit. Closing ann, Days of Hard Life at 0328, second wave of closing announcements ("Thanks so very much for tuning in"), but then went forward with more material. "Station YHWH will cease operation on this frequency - Good night, folks", to Days of Hard Life, dead air for a cupola minutes, then off (sometime after 0400 - couldn't make out my chicken-scratch notes) – Fair to Good (Barton-AZ)

YHWH 8/27, 1530, 11840/AM. Caught at the tail end, in progress at tune-in with usual operator. Gave ID at 1532, claimed to be longest running pirate ever (8 years), "Goodbye" and went off. No chance to alert other DXers. SIO 354.

Station YHWH. 11840, Aug 25 at 1530, Station YHWH with good S7-S8 signal into VE6JY #3 Kiwi as before, tnx to tip from Rick Barton who was hearing him well direct to AZ. 100% readable for me, earnest proclamation of one true myth to replace another. 1556 ID and seems to be signing off but keeps going, Yahweh coming soon to establish a worldwide theocracy, whoopee. ``Exposing fake demon hybrid man-god Jesus Christ``. Blames homosexual, pedophiliac Catholic Church. 1608 Josiah Elias [accent both on the long-I] wrapping up again, now up to S9/+10, introduces ``Days of Hard Life`` theme tune, 1610.5 cut back on to more preaching until owner-operator of ``longest-running pirate radio station in the world`` finally finishes and turns off at 1612* (Glenn Hauser, OK,)

RADIO GENIX

ATLANTIC 2000

FRANCE [non]. 7780 & 5800, UT Sat Aug 21 at 0200, another Europirate relay hour courtesy of TRSW via WRMIs: Atlantic 2000, alternating announcements in English and French, start with Beatles, and Born In The USA, but finally at 0210 a French cover of Sinatra`s My Way. Then the original. Everything pop/rock so far; is there any other genre? This one does not know about 7780 either, opener just announcing 5800, but 7780 is better here via remote in Maryland (Glenn Hauser, OK,)

WOLVERINE RADIO

6950-USB, Aug 22 at 0121, pirate music S9/+10, 0123 Wolverine Radio reverbing ID, into SSTV beepery and off by 0125* many reports here of keyword theme ``Angel`` and SSTV images of one: [www.hfunderground.com] Gotta hand it to Mr. Wolverine for creativity (Glenn Hauser, OK,)
