7480-AM, YHWH (religious pirate). Yes, he is back again! May 28, from tune in at 0256 UTC till tuned out at 0315;
QRN (static); started out fair, but went downhill till finally unusable by 0315. Delivering his usual recorded diatribe.
My local sunset was at 0317. My audio at http://bit.ly/2MatUTB .

Thanks for the recording. I've heard him before and assumed I was tuned to WBCQ.

This guy has already been popped, they won't go easy on him next time.
-
He's been popped at least twice. He's Col. Steve Anderson and Jimmy The Weasel rolled into one.

That's pretty unfair.
To Jimmy The Weasel, I mean.

Jimmy did have a fine singing voice.

Thanks for the recording. His diatribe sounded a bit odd.

Yes - he got the knock a few years back - he's been unlogged (off air?) since last October I think - now that he's back he may broadcast 5 or 6 nites a week on the same freq - maybe 7480 this go around?
That music he plays gives me the willies....
-
I suspect the next step will be incarceration, maybe he's ok with that.

For those of you who have not yet heard the song "Days of Hard Life"-(author unknown), here is a google drive link to this rather spooky sounding ditty. This was his theme song. I recorded it off air when he was allowed to do a show over WBCQ some time back.

IIRC, his first bust/knock was the result of him broadcasting within the ham bands [on 3845 kHz / 3.845 MHz I believe], which (naturally) gathered a lot of attention. Now that's hes outside the ham bands he may stand a chance of going longer before somebody drops a dime.

Lol it's not like the fcc doesn't enjoy the antics at this place or anything.

FYI
FCC letter (December 2014) to him:
http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/FieldNotices/2003/DOC-331583A1.html
Earlier in 2014, heard him in the 40m band (7125 kHz.). My audio back then -

Any educated guesses on how much wattage he's pushing out? He sounded good the time I heard him, as I mentioned I had assumed I was tuned to WBCQ.

I've never copied him well, so I don't think it's a whole lot.
