 ** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Mar 24 at 2258, WRMI with `Top of Hour` IS & ID; 2300 cut to JIP not RAE, but domestic R. Nacional ID with 8 pm timecheck, talk about stupid ballgames. 2302 show about ``vocación nacional``. Usual VG sig aimed right at us (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also USA
** ARGENTINA [and non]. 28398 USB, March 24 at 2217, LW3DG quick contact with XE1RIA also audible, in Spanish, then LW3DG calling CQ in English. QRZ.com: ``LW3DG Argentina flag Argentina, Eduardo Gómez, QTH Postcard: Av Dardo Rocha 433 entre 4 y 5 Berazategui, CP: B 1884 Buenos Aires Argentina B 1884, Argentina`` with a lot about the hassles of QSLing. And: ``XE1RIA Mexico flag Mexico, ADONIS IGLESIAS RODRIGUEZ, P. O. BOX 19-052, D.F. 03901, Mexico`` -- so call = initials in reverse order. Only few other sigs audible on 10m but unlike yesterday not because of S9 local high line noise level. A few hours after I left a message for the OG&E noise guy, it`s greatly diminished to virtually S0: but I`m afraid that`s coincidental. Still pretty high on LW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11950, March 24 at 2212, RHC Spanish S9+10 with goodmod, while // 11760 is S9/+10 with windhowl.

Breanna gives her ham call KM4UJS, otherwise WSHM692, and 1402 starts roll call, each a second time if no answer first time, which the alternate OM NCS does not do. Letters in calls always pronounced fonetikaly, and mentions locations unlike the alternate OM NCS: WQYW443, Beckham County ESP [or EFT? several with letters like this, not sure of them]; WQZT582, Broken Arrow; WQSY836, Byng EOC, Jeff ans, no traffic; WNPV700, Durant ESP, Bill, no traffic, loud & clear; WQYW883, City of Moore ESP, ans?; WNUW216, Oklahoma City, Max[?]; WNUW215, Ponca City EOC, VG, Jason answers, tnx for warm welcome last week, L&C; KNGR728, Pontotoc County EOC, Chad ans; asks if she heard Byng; WPFY721, Seminole EOC, Ernie ans; WNBM839, Stillwater, Joe ans; WNCH624, Tulsa EOC; WNBE830, Missouri State EOC, Jefferson City, Corey ans; 1408: any others?

But that is someone else in Caddo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ST LUCIA. 21289 USB, Mar 25 at 2206, J62K, CQ and quick contest contacts. Pauses between the 6 and the 2; so J6 is the prefix, not 62?

The heavily accented M&W intro and 2301 news leading with PM Sánchez expressing opposition to Drumpf`s war on Iran, likely to lead to negative consequences for Spain.

Not checked after 2230 whether still DA, but at 2255, presumably from usual 2250, the IS&IS loop leading up to resuming programming at top-of-hour, which it does with VORW since this is Wednesday.
