Radio Verdad, 4055am, 12-20-2016, 0500utc
« on: December 20, 2016, 0519 UTC »
Just signed online. I have been listening to 4055am for about a half hour, weak signal, at first thought it was a tropical band station but seemed to be English language gospel music. At 0511utc they played "glory glory halleluia" which a foreign stn is unlikely to play. Still listening. RF-4900 & dipole. (edit) Woman speaking at length about something but audio so bad it's impossible to understand anything she's saying. At 0523utc organ music with singing. (2nd edit) preacher preaching but audio so crappy I can't understand a word, which is probably just as well.

I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

They relay Stateside preachers in off hours. My guess is it helps to offset the cost of running the station.

I haven't heard them since the summer. I thought a tropical storm might have got them in the rainy season.
