fpe, I don't bother logging most of the time I see this station, so it might be more common than the list would lead you to believe.

As for his content, it does appear to be recorded.  However there appears to be several recordings, some only different in the length of the music, others different in when what is said.  I suppose he could have several segments that he mixes and matches.  But, for example, the last 45 minutes of the two transmissions April 18 and 19 are the same, except that the music on one day is 51 seconds longer than the other day.  After clipping 51.6 seconds out of the music you could run one in the left channel and one in the right and they are mirrors of each other, down to fractional second timing.

Token - understood and thanks - strange that this station has the level of interest that it has apparently raised (900 +/- views so far).
As you say, I'm sure he's on a lot more than my sources indicate.
WOW on the recordings - quite the mystery - I can tell you that the music he plays gives me the creeps - kinda like the music from that Halloween movie  from the 80's (?) does - and I SWEAR I've heard it somewhere before....His sign off "I Love You" - YECHHHH - WTF!?  HAH!
Thanks again & good dx to you!!

I heard this station a few afternoons ago, 4/25, 0207-0241 UTC, 14350 khz. Ranting on about the Old Testament and stuff, quoting a lot from a book. When I tuned out he was still talking.

Two IDs, but didn't realise they were IDs until I recalled the station being mentioned here.

It is possible to broadcast AM + USB + LSB all at the same time but why bother? javascript:void(0); Token most likely is correct...  DSB reduced carrier sounds more like what it might be.


I have yet to hear this one javascript:void(0);  Oh well...

I inadvertently heard YHWH several weeks ago on 14350 but did not recognize it as such.  I thought it was one of a number of evangelical/fundamentalist preachers I have heard before a numerous occasions.  I have not heard the station since that time.
The seemingly random nature of times and frequencies makes me wonder, as others have already noted, what's the point of trying to get your message in this situation.
Since I am not privy to YWHW's motivation, the station will continue to be a mystery to me.  But I will still try to hear it!

all mode at once????

Could it be double side band reduced carrier...  really AM reduced carrier.  That mode is seldom used today but I remember it being used back when the hams were changing from AM to SSB...

Just a random idea....

From the Free Radio Weakly:

** YHWH
 
NORTH AMERICA. 9610-AM, June 26 at 0545, here`s Station YHWH with
usual rant, about the Sabbath, poor-fair in noise level; off at 0554
recheck. Previously was on 9600, but you never know where he`ll go
next. Frequency accuracy seems very good and almost always picks a
spot clear of interference, which is more than can be said for some
legitimate SW broadcasters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
 
Appearance of YHWH --- Hi: I just saw the latest report of YHWH in the
Glenn Hauser logs for June 19th. From the frequencies this guy uses, I
suspect this operator (or someone helping him). has a lot of
experience with ham or broadcast gear. He shows up on frequencies
where there is a ready audience and the greatest chance of being
heard. He probably has a field of antennas that are ready-made for the
frequencies he wants to use (ham, international broadcast) and he
knows the correct modulation to use for each of the bands he is using.
He is probably using a modified ham VFO to get his signal where he
wants it. This guy is not your usual pirate broadcaster that plays on
the weekend. I am beginning to wonder if he has financial support to
do all this. At least, he is not sending on the aeronautical or marine
channels where safety is at stake. Let's hope it stays that way (Dan
Ramos, Joshua Tree CA, June 19, swl at qth.het via WORLD OF RADIO
1727, DXLD)
 
NORTH AMERICA. 9600, R/S YHWH, 0413-0422* 17 June. New program/same
creepy closing song. Heard with a fair signal while checking for
Nikkei 1-9595 (Dan Sheedy, Encinitas, CA G5/4.5m "lean-mean" X wire,
WORLD OF RADIO 1727, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
 
NORTH AMERICA. 9600-AM, June 19 at 0507 in bandscan, there`s the
Station YHWH guy! on yet another new frequency, fair signal, voice,
modulation quality, and content immediately recognizable, fortunately
since chopped off at 0507:45*, and not found thence on any other
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

YHWH uses either full carrier DSB AM, LSB, or USB.  He mostly uses either full carrier DSB AM or USB.  I suspect that many times people tun in say USB mode and never check AM, so they report USB, while another person reports AM, causing confusion.

I have a couple dozen SDR recordings of YHWH, and have never seen anything unusual in his transmission mode.

I've never heard this station before, so now I'm intrigued.  I'll have to keep listening for it.  The hard part will be picking out YHWH from the dozens of other religious broadcasters all over the SW bands.

BTW, that is some creepy music, reminds me of 80's horror movies.

It could just be the "God wants me to broadcast to as many people as possible in order to save their souls" way of thinking.  That could also explain the "shotgun" type of frequency choice all over the HF bands.

Heard YHWH this morning (1452 UTC, 9610 khz), SIO252, weak signal with some deep fading.  The guy was talking a lot about the end times, reciting verses from Old Testament prophets.
