It's a weekly religious program sponsored by American church organisation.

- to Lucas,  if it is 200W, in my QTH I receive them regularly as 1kW
  and I assumed they were broadcasting from the US.

Disappointing to see this station back on the air, it was gone for a while. It splatters across 40 kHz of the 48 meter pirate band and QRMs many stations.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

Not so bad here, but maybe the TX is NW Ireland, close to several popular Kiwi SDRs,
thus overloading them ?

Not overloading, only S9+20 on the Northwest Ireland KiwiSDR. The splatter is also noticeable on the GB3WB KiwiSDR in the UK. There is no way 200 watts is overloading a receiver that far away, just careless operation of the transmitter.

Yes they are not overloading the KiwiSDR it looks like they are not using any compressor there transmitter is over 100k away from North West Ireland KIWI
