NORTH AMERICAN LOGS

YHWH

6/12, 0357, 7475/am. Heard on Drake SW8, long wire. Suddenly cut-in with familiar op's voice, "Thanks for tuning in to pirate station YHWH and allowing me to speak with you today". Days of Hard life and live closing ann and off at 0513. IMPORTANT NOTE: just bf he went off, I was caught off guard with the op giving a new postal mail address that was lost in some chop to the signal, and he asked listeners to write. Will def have to listen for this again for the details. This time around, all we got was a PO Box in California. SIO 343 (Barton-AZ)

6/9, 0311, 7475/am. (In progress at tune-in) Josiah and the oft-heard lecture, 10 Commandments list going on thru the half hour mark. Days of Hard Life, closing ann, "Thank you for being patient with me...I love you...Good Night", & OFF, just bf 0355 (Barton-AZ)

6/15, 0405, 7475/am. We were damn lucky here to catch this, working only with a Sangean 505 portable and a short wire rig up while giving post-surgery care to one of our cats. Even with that modest setup, we were getting sta. SIO 354. Many of the usual themes, mentioning his personal anger, asking for letters and post cards, saying, "I will answer all correspondence". He asked for mail to be sent to: Josiah Elias, c/o PO Box 134, Olancha, CA 93549. (Barton-AZ)

6/16, 0420, 7475/am. Familiar op, familiar content. Commandments list at 0430, anti-Catholicism, anti-war monologues. Closing ann 0445, Days of Hard Life to 0450 and came on live, with a couple more shots at Catholicism. Talked of being former Christian and complains about the crap going on in the world, admits to being "p---ed off", says running out of gas so must sign off, gave the Olancha, CA, mailing address. "YHWH is now going off the air, so long, folks" and gone at 0458. Fair-to-Good all the way. (Barton-AZ)

6/17 0330 7475/am, (in progress at tune-in) Familiar content, familiar op, and again copied on modest setup (SW-2000629 and indoor wire). Some repeat monologues, Days of Hard Life at 0418, "Station YHWH is now going dark, good night" and off at 0424. -- Fair to Good Barton-AZ
