** GUATEMALA. 4052.5, April 20, one final non-log of TGAV, R. Verdad,
which never made it back on SW, and now never will, because Dr. Édgar
Amílcar Madrid Morales has died on April 20. For the record, via Dino
Bloise, Frecuencia al Día, translated:
#FrecuenciaAlDía - GUATEMALA: #MOURNING | WELL-KNOWN AND PROMINENT
PASTOR, Dr. EDGAR MADRID, DIRECTOR AND OWNER OF RADIO VERDAD IN
CHIQUIMULA, DIES. THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH MOURNS THE DEATH OF DR. EDGAR
AMILCAR MADRID MORALES.
On the evening of Wednesday, April 16, the renowned and prominent
pastor, Dr. Édgar Amílcar Madrid, passed away. He was originally from
Chiquimula and had a long career as a preacher of the word of God. He
founded the Evangelical Friends of Holiness Church, which currently
has seven churches throughout the country. He also founded the Quaker
Theological Seminary and the radio station, Radio Verdad.
He was a professor at the Chiquimula Experimental Institute, a
musician, composer, writer, theologian, inventor, and possessed many
other gifts that God allowed him to develop here on earth. He was
recognized as a Guatemalan scientist during the Álvaro Arzú
administration and received awards such as "La Muta de Oro,"
"Francisco Marroquín," and "La Orden del Quetzal," among others.
With his extensive knowledge, he trained musicians, broadcasters,
Sunday school teachers, professors, theologians, and many
professionals who today represent the development of Guatemala and
other Latin American countries. Without a doubt, Dr. Madrid leaves a
void in those whose lives gave them the opportunity to experience all
his skills and talents, without blemish, in keeping with God's
command.
We join in the grief of his daughter, Edna Edith Madrid, and all the
members of the Friends of Holiness Church. Heaven is celebrating; a
servant of God who fought throughout his life to teach the truth of
the gospel here on earth has passed away. May God receive him in his
holy glory. https://www.facebook.com/LatitudStereo @BaraAnes``
And Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, commented: ``They didn't just scam him
with that imaginary global satellite shortwave network, but also, and
very recently, with the purchase of a new transmitter to resume
broadcasting on traditional shortwave on 4055 kHz.
Because of this latest scam, I believe they left him without the
little money he had, causing him great disappointment. Just a few
months ago, he was very excited about the arrival of that nonexistent
new transmitter from Germany, allowing him to return to shortwave.
The poor man fell into the hands of unscrupulous people who kept
deceiving him and demanding more and more money for something that
would never arrive. People tried to warn him about how fictitious it
all was, but he was so sure it was true that he never listened to
anyone. Rest in peace.``
During its heyday I received a number of very nice pennants and QSL.

** OKLAHOMA. 88.1, Apr 19 at 1800 UT on caradio, weak signal ID in
passing as WOFM? No Es, this is surely KMSI Moore OK, with the Oasis
Network. I previously heard a ``WOFM`` ID on 89.1, which is the Enid
translator of Oasis` KNYD 90.5 Tulsa flagship, K206CA. The real WOFM
is as previously researched, an AirOne affil in Alcoa TN,
coincidentally on 89.1. Now checking the Oasis website,
https://oasisnetwork.org/index.php/affiliates
it`s clear that I had an Oasis net ID including a far-flung one I am
not really hearing, not WOFM but WOFN, 88.7 in Beach City/Canton OH.
Canton was also mentioned the previous time. BTW, K206CA cannot
possibly be picking up 90.5 directly for relay as there is a stronger
closer blocking 90.5. If not a non-broadcast feed, may really relay
KMSI, but subject to KWOU Woodward QRM (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

Also confirmed Saturday April 19 at 1450 the 1430 on SW Radio,
Germany, 6160.001+, S8/9+5 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Saturday April 19 at 1600 on WRN North America stream.

6160.001-, S9/+15 into UTwente, and also 3975.001-, S9/+5 into
UTwente, not synchronized.
Could not check the 1930v Sat Apr 19 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, since the
local SDR is offline, and the nearest otherones in MO, IL, IA get
nothing but noise in the daytime.
Also confirmed Saturday April 19 at 1930 on WRN North America stream.
And at 2000 on WRN Europe stream.
WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO, at 0315 UT April 20 is still in the
variable-lengthy Houston AMSAT net replay, so WOR will probably start
considerably later than nominal 0315 UT Sunday. Checked at the Peoria

new and live as it`s Easter weekend, good Friday. Obligatory piety to
