YHWH

9/5, 1703, 9700/AM; in progress at tune-in with "Josiah Elias" and typical monologue. During long dips in signal, rx was better switching to DC powered SW-2000629 w/ indoor wire oriented for N/S signals. 10 Commandments bit at 1730. ID at 1737, then faded to inaudible until 1743. Days of Hard Life song played at 1748. Went into deep fade at 1750 and apparently went off the air sometime after that. We gave it up at 1755 here. With 31 m fading and onset of morning, one wonders why he chose this frequency. OK, I wonder. – Poor to Good Sept. 5 (Barton-AZ)

YHWH 9/7, 1440, 9720/AM; in progress at tune-in with "Josiah Elias" and typical monologue. Monitored w/ SW-2000629 and indoor wire, with little green tuning eye lit over half the time. Good at tune-in, but poor by 1450. Improved by 1455 and scripture readings, going to 10 Commandments anti-war/anti-Christian opines after 1500. Days of Hard Life played at 1517, then a px reset w/ the "homos in the US military" line. My previous logs of YHWH on 31 meters have been on 9630 and 9700. Another false sign-off and rendition of Days of Hard Life, into some new material ("doesn't hold water"), then suddenly off a just after 1630. Only a cupola other stations audible here at this time on the band. Over Labor Day Weekend, I was listening in vain (pun intended) nights on 7470 and 7475, but finding this by morning. – Poor to Good Sept. 7 (Barton-AZ)

9720, Sept 7 at 1436, the thintonations of Josiah Elias, of Station YHWH, S5-S7 direct. I beat Rick Barton, AZ, by 3 minutes posting about this to WOR io group, hi; he also had YHWH the morning of Sept 5 on 9700 instead. Rick says 9720 ran until 1630* while on Sept 5, 9700 heard 1703-1750+.BTW, I notice that when the pious Allan Weiner mentions YHWH logs from FRW on Worldwide, he refers to it as ``religious``; can`t bring himself to say ``anti-Christ``, which is clearly what YHWH is all about, if not using that exact term (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

9/8, 1620, 9775/AM; in progress at tune-in with "Josiah Elias" and monologue. At 1631, "YHWH will cease operation on this frequency" & off, but w/o the Days of Hard Life cut. – Good (Barton-AZ)
