Just perusing my old logs yesterday and ran across a RADIO VERDAD (Guatamala) logging from April of 2018 (4055 khz) and realized I haven't heard them since.
Anyone heard them lately?

Been a while since I heard them. There website lists only 95.7 FM. After a further search of the internet, I could not find anything current regarding Radio Verdad AM.

I'm writing this mostly from memory; Glenn Hauser covered the Radio Verdad shortwave saga quite closely on his "World of Radio" program that I listen to. But that station's shortwave transmitter broke and then, I think, caught fire a few years ago, putting Radio Verdad off the air.
Dr. Edgar Madrid, the pastor who owned the station kept saying he was about to get the station on the air, but he also was a bit gullible, as he got involved with somebody who promised to get the station onto shortwave but also the internet at the same time -- it was all very confusing, and Glenn Hauser warned him he was being fooled, but he didn't seem to listen. Finally, last year or so, Dr. Madrid announced that Radio Verdad had obtained a new conventional transmitter and was planning to be back.
Alas, that never happened, and Dr. Madrid died in April of this year.

Thanks for the info!

As we all know, tropicals have become as rare as hen’s teeth, for various reasons.
I used to copy LOTS of them.
Better log what’s left.
