Radio Verdad, Guatemala on 4055 kHz
 

Apparently, R. Verdad, Chiquimula, Guatemala is back to full power
(700 watts, per their website and letters to G. Hauser). Ample
evidence was also provided by their signal last night, which was the
most potent I have ever hard it. Propagation on March 26 early AM UTC
was amazing in many respects already, but their signal was pumping in
here at S-8 with the preamps off, a first. Armchair for the first
time.

And, a minor adjustment to their frequency, now 4055.00 kHz.

Sure it's not the 104 sunspot number?

Could be - but the sfi has not risen that much, and on days with the
sfi as high as 150, it was never this good.

Moreover, the lower bands in general - 60/75/90 - were just so-so in
propagation. Nobody else besides RV that I could tell had a
significant improvement at my QTH. So, my vote goes to the restored
transmitter in this instance.
