Much weaker signal tonight than I had last night

Still going at 0415 and stronger than it was earlier. Maybe an SIO of 343 with some fading

At 1152 UTC I have a very good signal from the TWR Bonaire KiwiSDR.  Numerous Venezuela mentions in the ID. I think we need to re-evaluate our guess as to the QTH.

Definitely. At 1120 this morning, it's barely audible on my R8, but booming on the TWR Bonaire SDR. It's also fairly good (in terms of strength) on TWR's much noisier SDR in the Dominican Republic.
