[HCDX] Logging

[WWildes256@xxxxxxx]

Greetings, fellow listees:

A. I am new to the list, having returned to SWLing after a 20 year hiatus.
I don't usually spend any effort on domestic s/w broadcasters, concentrating 
instead on (1) European, and (2) Latin American ones. 

B. However, I heard a station yesterday afternoon that intrigued me. 
I stumbled on it at 1810Z, 1 May 05, on 15385. 
A man and a woman were reading in English from, ostensibly, Psalms 109 and 
29. 
It went like this: 
The Man: "The Voice of Yahweh is strong."
Followed by: The Woman: "The Voice of Yahweh is strong."
The Man: "The Voice of Yahweh is powerful." 
The Woman: "The Voice of Yahweh is powerful."
The Man: "The Voice of Yahweh is (...choose any word you want...)
Followed by The Woman: etc
And on and on like this for at least twenty minutes.
After five minutes, the thing was repeated. 

I listened closely but did not hear an ID. The signal was weak but 
intelligible.

At 1835 Z I clearly heard a female vocal "Ave Maria" that sounded like Karen 
Carpenter (Oh how I miss that girl). 

I had to run an errand at 1900, and got back at 1920, hearing a female duet 
on a religious song in Spanish, and still hadn't hadn't heard an ID. 

I am consciously trying to avoid "list logging". I knew that Daniel Sampson's 
Primetime Shortwave shows KJES in English on that frequency, but still had no 
firm information on the weak signal I heard. 

Suddenly, at 1930, a very YL boomed out "Kah Jota Eh Esse", at least five 
times louder and stronger than anything that preceded it. 

C. Equipment: Kenwood R1000 and 80 foot long wire

D. Years ago 15170 was used by a station in Papeete, Tahiti. Programming was 
in French and consisted of "island" music, and was always a delight to hear. 
Does anyone know if they're still there?

Thanks.
