Title: YHWH 7470 AM 0303 UTC 21 May 2018

Barely hear the YHWH guy talking. 

Very poor here.

Yea, I meant 7470, I moved to 7490 when I was writing this and goofed.

On the Token SDR in the Mojave desert in California, YHWH is very strong, peaking at S9 at 0322.

i think you mean 7470Khz ?
it is very strong on the La Cruces, New Mexico SDR http://w5uxh-kiwi.dyndns.org:8073/?f=7470.00amz10
what was at 7490Khz was a commercial SWBC with some religious man speaking but it was not YHWH when i compared both on the New Mexico SDR, they were both different.
the commercial SWBC apparently signed off at 0400Z

On the Token/Mojave SDR, it is indeed on 7490.  Curiously, there is some weird reverb.  Every few minutes a word or syllable is echoed for several seconds. Nothing on 7470.

Edit:  I just checked your SDR, and there are two signals, 7470 and 7490. Both are YHWH.

The YHWH op could find himself in it up to his neck over this one. A few of those WBCQ guys are still on the fringes of the pirate scene, lurk regularly on the various boards and will have seen these posts. Nearly all of them are SWL's and more than few likely have SDR's. You've got to figure one of them has audio and a screen shot of him doing his thing on 7490.

The Big Weiner is protective of his frequencies, he had to fight with the FCC for decades to get them. He'll rent the loon an hour for fifty bucks, like he does all crazy preachers, but no poaching.

When WBCQ was in it's first year, a couple of guys hijacked the frequency just after sign-off. They were running some serious power and running a parody of WBCQ. If it wouldn't have been for one's pronounced southern twang they'd have pulled it off. I wish I'd had sense enough to record it.
