 ** ARGENTINA. 28505 USB, Sept 22 at 2207, LU1XAW, Patagonia, calling CQ DX in English. QRZ.com: ``LU1XAW Argentina flag Argentina, FERNANDO F. BARCENA, ALCORTA 716 CP Z9400GCJ, RIO GALLEGOS, SANTA CRUZ, PATAGONIA ARGENTINA, SC 9400, Argentina``. In Argentina, the letter after the number signifies the geographical area, not the number. It`s over 10 megameters from Rio Gallegos to Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BARBADOS. 21294 USB, Sept 22 at 2220, quick contacts including one with KC3WRH in Maryland also heard, but can`t catch his call. No 8P6`s currently in DXheat/cluster. Not necessarily the case with this one, but it`s very frustrating when DX stations don`t ID themselves with every transmission. IMHO, any contact to be valid has to include *at least once* the call of the contactee, and ``this is``, or ``from`` the call of the contactor! And vice versa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 6180 S5/S7 and slightly weaker 11780 into Goiania remote, UT Tue Sept 23 at 0152, RNA/RNB token English already underway, something about climate change, apparent new topic; finishing already at 0153 with outro, 0154 ID, English again but then translating to Spanish.

I feel guilty not sending something sooner! I have been a listener to your program since you first began many years ago. I am 83 yrs old and have been an SWL and DXer since 1955. These days I enjoy most of my listening via `remotes` over the world on my I-pad! As you know, they are great, especially the University of Twente in Holland, Walt in BC, ??? Australia. Thanks for all you do in these depressing times! Best wishes, Jim Snow, St Simons Is., Georgia`` This report dispatched at 0209 UT September 23 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
