NORTH AMERICAN LOGS

YHWH



1840 / AM mode PIRATE YHWH 1803 (in progress at tune-in), Josiah and usual themes ("The mother whore Catholic church...Good going, Christians"). A religious pirate, but def not Christian broadcaster. BX seemed a mix of old and new material. First heard good on SW-2000629 and indoor wire, lighting the green tuning eye 90%, and VG with Drake and long wire. I may not be the first to hear this station in recent days, as I got a tip via social media from Paul Walker, Jr., in Alaska that he had it on 11840 on Mar. 1. Closing Ann and Days of Hard Life just after noon local time (1900 Zulu), and to ancmt that he will go on for another 45 minutes. At 1945, the oft-heard trouble started (anemic audio, deep signal fading). By 1948 was so low it was only heard by switching on SW8's SSB, but we tuned out after a couple minutes of that. -- Very Good Mar. 6 (Barton-AZ)



YHWH 11840, Sunday March 6 at 1807, urgent tones of anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH, reactivated after months` absence, S7-S8 into VE6JY remote Alberta, -10 Hz carrier offset. Tnx to tip from Rick Barton, AZ in the WOR iogroup. Last previous report of it on 11840 was also by Rick, Saturday November 20, 2011 until 1811* Maybe back too on night frequency 7470 or 7475? (Glenn Hauser, OK)
