BALLSMACKER RADIO:

10/23, 0059, 6960am/4030am. Piano IS, ID, “Sunshine feeling” ...
       then I gave up due to the poor, very noisy signal.  In the 
       meantime, Ballsmacker realized the same and at 0107 was on 
       4030 with weak but audible conditions which improved as the 
       evening went on. Pop rock with many ID’s and characteristic 
       bowling pin strike every time. Poor improving to fair by 
       0130. (Taylor-Wi)

       Yahweh (Yah-hah-VAY") requires of us, etc. Using long wire 
       oriented for E/W reception, Drake table-top rx. Way out 
       in the weeds at first tune-in, quickly went up in signal 
       strength. After 1700, went to the 10 Commandments, anti 
       war and anti "Notorious" Christ bits. Closing ann "Good 
       night folks", Days of Hard Life, then restarted program 
       (and taking heavy-handed swipe at Catholic church). 10 
       Commandments and anti-Christian reset after 1800. Closing 
       ann again and Days of Hard Life reprise at 1817, second 
       closing ann & off 1822. Fair to Good. (Barton-AZ)
10/23, 1700, 11840am. Station YHWH with usual earnest sermonizing 
       of nonsense, S5-S7 via VE6JY Alberta SDR, after hearing 
       nothing via the Jordan, Utah Kiwi, must be too close for 
       skip distance. Tnx to Rick Barton, Sonoran Desert of AZ, 
       tip via WOR iog, from 1645. Also S4-S6 but noisier, direct 
       to OK at 1706; and still at 1755 JBA; at 1759, S4-S5 to 
       VE6JY and still past 1816 but gone by 1828 (Glenn Hauser, 
       OK, WOR)
10/24, 1900, 11840am. Absent on earlier dial scans, in progress 
       1900, full-on Josiah lecture. Days of Hard Life song at 
       1915 to swipe at "Homosexual pedophile Catholic Church", 
       "All religions have utterly failed mankind" "Station YHWH 
       is now going dark - good night, folks" & off at 1920. 
       Fair to Good. (Barton-AZ)
10/28, 1535, 11840am. In progresss at tune-in. Stumbled onto 
       Josiah Elias during random dialscan with SW-2000629 and 
       outdoor wire, Fair signal, usual lecture. Some long, deep 
       fades. Sreong peaks, fully lighting the green tuning eye. 
       The 10 Commandments of "Yah-huh-VAY" started just before 
       1600. Closing ann & Days of Hard Life at 1610, but then 
       went to "Idol-worshipping war-mongering Christians" 
       programming reset. 1700: Closing ann & Days of Hard Life

       rules.”, “If you want to play with fire, play with
       Zeeky.”  Said he wouldn’t be on Halloween. Ragging on 
       someone named Frank. SIO=444 peaks, buzz burst QRM
       (Frodge-MI)
10/27, 2349-2352, 4060usb. Rock music & Zeeky talk. SIO=4+54-
       peaks but very fady (Frodge-MI)
10/28, 2151-2243, 4060usb. Philo Radio, a Zeeky production. 
       Zeeky being Zeeky. Strength started weak and unusable, 
       then picked-up some steam (a 25% application of noise 
       reduction helped) and finished at 35343. Many old songs. 
       Lots of chatter. Comfort food. (Hunsicker, PA)

UNIDs:

10/23, 0013, 6924.2am. Perhaps a radio play. Noisy conditions 
       made it difficult to understand. Gone at 0015. Very poor. 
       (Taylor-Wi)
10/23, 0134-0140*, 6930usb. Pop ditties; anmts before s/off.

       two folksy ditties & off w/o ID. SIO=353 (Frodge-MI)
10/24, 1400-1408+, 6925am. Rap at tune-in; very Euro-sounding
       anmt @1407, presume a NAm relay rather that a cross-pond 
       b’cast at this time.  SIO=353 peaks diving into the QRN 
       (Frodge-MI)
10/27, 2221-2222:20*, 6925usb. Rock ditty & off abruptly. SIO=

       (Will-MD)
10/28, 2047-2045*, 6925am. Likely a rebroadcast of a conversation 
       on the ham bands (or a set-piece intended to delude one 
       of the masses--me). Lads, with heckling in the background, 
       chat about one's having been served by the FCC with a letter 
       or admonition for having played music on the ham bands. 
       Either way, an interesting broadcast. (35342, Hunsicker, PA)
10/29, 2212, 6925am. Someone playing Bohemian Rhapsody, fair 
       signal; very strong fishermen on 6925 lower side band 
       interfering badly with them. (Will-MD)
10/29, 2214, 6985am. Mellow music, fair to good signal, s7/s9. 
       (Will-MD)

                  =+=+=+=+= LPFMs =+=+=+=+=

       EZL ditties; presume The Surrounding Sound. (Frodge-MI)
10/26, 1600, 90.3fm. Long running Frederick, Maryland pirate 
       with 60s/70s/80s pop hits and full quieting between songs.

       south of I-70. Briefly overwhelmed by someone's Part 15 
       carcaster playing some kind of urban or AC music at 1605.
