Unlicensed religious broadcaster ordered off the air

The FCC has ordered an unlicensed California religious broadcaster, who sometimes broadcast on a frequency in the 40 meter phone band, to shut down his station

The ARRL report:
The FCC’s Los Angeles District Office on December 31 issued a Notice of Unlicensed Operation to Martin K. Elliott of Inyokern, California.
The FCC said it issued the Notice in response to a complaint of unlicensed operation on multiple HF frequencies, including some allocated to aeronautical stations.

The FCC said its agents used radio direction-finding techniques to confirm that signals on 6280 kHz and 11595 kHz were emanating from a residence located near Inyokern, and that property records indicated that Elliott was the current owner and resident.

“The Commission’s records show that no license was issued for operation of a station on either the frequencies of 6280 kHz or 11595 kHz at this location,” the FCC wrote. “Unlicensed operation of this radio station must be discontinued immediately.”

The pirate station, which identified itself as “YHWH,” was not cited for operating on Amateur Radio frequencies, although ARRL Official Observers had monitored the station in the past on 7185 kHz LSB.
One short-wave listener said the operator of YHWH changed frequencies regularly, and the station had not been heard on the ham bands for at least several months.

Now taking orders for 2014 Pirate Radio Annual

Andrew Yoder writes:

"I need to get some sleep, but I just got the 2014 PRA e-mailed to the printer, so I'm taking orders. From now until 2/28/15, I'm taking advance orders for $15 + $3 shipping ($18) in the US. If you want a copy, send the $ via PayPal to info@hobbybroadcasting.com or send a check or money order to:

Hobby Broadcasting
POB 109
Blue Ridge Summit, PA 17214
USA

I'll post more information about what's in this book tomorrow, but I can say that it's 178 pages and will contain an audio CD with clips from 70 different stations.

International postage keeps increasing at ridiculous rates, so I'll check on those costs soon. The last I checked, they got rid of international book rate and now it's something like 9 or $10 to ship to Canada and something like $12 to $15 to send to the rest of the world."

Radio BZN QSL

QSL received today for reception of Radio BZN. Thanks very much!

Weekend Relays

Program on 6070 kHz via Channel 292 this weekend (CET/MEZ = UTC + 1 hour)

On Saturday, from 07 to 11 UTC Radio MiAmigo from Spain will be on air.  MiAmigo still is very interested in reception reports, so please send them to us, or directly to:info@radiomiamigo.es

Also on Saturday from 14 to 16 UTC we will broadcast Radio Spaceshuttle  from the Netherlands,  spaceshuttleradio@yahoo.com

On Sunday from 09 to 10 UTC is 8Radio Ireland, onair@8radio.com

For both stations these are tests, and reception reports are very important for them!

In the night from Saturday to Sunday (Jan. 17/18), we will be on air all night long to check if and where we might be heard during nighttime. We want to know if it makes sense to have the transmitter running at night. We ask all of you to send us reports for these test; and if you can't hear us, a short notice would help us, too!
