local noise level on 10m is very low, barely nudging the S meter.
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay are typical deep South Americans
around this time on 10m; wonder how many F2 hops (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

Previews subjects: digital rights protexions vs AI, a fair in Madrid;
2201 news leads with Spain closing its airspace to USA due to Iran
war; can`t use two US bases there. Not afraid of reprisals. Similar
restrixions in France, Italy. Clip of Marco Rubio about NATO... And we
have to close down with lightning storms approaching. And there is
something rather more important about to happen from Florida into
International Vacuum (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

German, finally chop at 2303* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
