4939.96 AM
Fair signal this morning, but was slowly improving until carrier abruptly off mid song at 09:48z
Not 100% sure on this one - could hear "..Columbia.." mentioned at 09:41z & "..corta.." at 09:42z, but that's as far as I could make out for a possible ID.
Going by BDXC's (A24 S.A. guide) 'WRTH 2022 places it under COLOMBIA as the only SW station left, in Arauca with 1 kW, but keyed as DC26 since RRR
himself is QSL manager with a mailing address in the capital district. It seems to me its ambiguity, no callsign or known
license to one country or another, qualifies it as a PIRATE (not Clandestine), but seldom acknowledged as such...' - Glenn Hauser
So not sure if this is La Montana Columbia or Estación 4940, but leaning towards the latter.
Will update/move if anyone has more info:

Checked 4940 AM (4939.983) again last night; at 02:46z station was already in progress so kicked off the recorder. After going through the audio, at 08:22z (11mins into recording) can hear male voice begin with "..Señal.." & what sounds like "..corta.." for a possible ID.
Going back to BDXC's (A24 S.A. guide) '13 September 2023, Manuel Méndez reported: "VENEZUELA or COLOMBIA, 4940 kHz, Estación 4940, 0435-0633, 12-09, Venezuela or Colombian songs, male, ID "Señal de onda corta 4940", "El saludo a nuestros oyentes en Venezuela, América y el mundo, Estación 4940", “estacion4940@...", religious comments and more songs, "Llaneras". According to the identification "El saludo a nuestros oyentes en Venezuela ...", and that they usually announce the time in Venezuela, this station seems to be more of a Venezuelan station than a Colombian one, or at least its programs are aimed at the Venezuelan audience". (Manuael Méndez, Spain, WOR iog).'
I'm not hearing the '4940' portion, but it seems close to what has been reported and my ear for Spanish is not great.
Overall signal was fairly good despite noisy conditions last night & station abruptly left the air at 09:27z.

Good day.
On the first recording, the voice says "Capítulo realidades..." ie. "Realities chapter"
On the second recording at 11m25s the voice says "Señor, enseñanos a orar..." which is Luke 11, 1-X.
And yes, several times you can hear "onda corta".
I will try later to tune it.
