Further to the information from Michael Schnitzer in HCDX, I received the following e-mail from Pedro MC de Castro, President of DX Clube Do Brasil. He is located in Lorena, Sao Paulo state:
Subject: Re: Radio Guaruja FM Good morning John! Radio Guaruj�'s 3235 transmitter is not located in Guaruj� but in Mar�lia SP, 440 km away. This is obviously a very bad layout, so they assembled a new tx in Guaruj�. In some occasions it operated replacing Mar�lia, but now they moved 5 kHz down and are relaying the FM program. I would say that they are testing this transmitter's range and reliability before they shut down Mar�lia's tx. Both stations can easily be tuned in Lorena by night with a 7600 GR. Surprisingly, they don't cause mutual interference. Radio Guaruj� belongs to Rampazzo family. Best wishes and good listening!
