** GUATEMALA. 4055, June 18 at 0545, TGAV Radio Verdad is back, VP
signal vs noise level; despite transmitter ``collapse``. It seems it
was just a blown fuse, but of course that could still indicate a
bigger problem. Manuel Méndez, Spain, received this early UT June 18
from Dr Madrid:

``I have good news: Radio Truth is on the air with full power. After
some checking, I decided to start transmitter. When I put power on,
there happened a strong explosion on Module B, but transmitter went on
the air with 300 watts power. Then I installed a spare Module, and it
came on the air with full power. I still need to get the 15 A, 600 V.
thermal fuse though. I adapted a regular 15 A, 250 V fuse for the mean
time. That`s a very difficult fuse to get in Guatemala. I will keep
you informed. May God bless you. Édgar Amílcar Madrid, Radio Truth``
