4940 Sep 5 0627 UTC
Praise music in Spanish, S7/S9, the long-running 24 hour pirate carrying 'Fuerza de Paz'
missionary programming, which I rarely bother to log. Shortly after it appeared, we got a TDOA to the same area which Rafael Rodriguez, Colombia now reports, G.C. 7.20 north, 69.00 west, in SW Venezuela near the Colombian border: https:\\www.w4uvh.net/4940.jpg
"Greetings from Colombia, Thanks to the activation of a KiwiSDR in the town of Facatativa, very close to Bogota; I can perform a radiolocation of the signal in 4940 kHz through the TDoA function that these receivers have. I do it through the kiwis located in Bonaire, Boavista and Facatativa. I attach the image with the result. Although this is not conclusive, it reaffirms my theory that the signal originates in Venezuela according to the image from Estado Apure. (Ra- fael Rodriguez R., Bogota D.C., Colombia", WOR Sept 7)
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, e.g. not reported in Free Radio Weekly.
