** 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. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9710, March 25 at 0619, RHC S9+25 somewhat overmodulated in

contacts, QRZ? At 2259 now an OM op, says power 900 watts. QRZ.com:

Landrum, Po Box 28432, Henrico, VA 23228, USA.

now is up to S6/S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, Wed March 25 from 1400 UT, weekly net
opened by YL NCS this week, WSHM692, ``Oklahoma --?-- HF test net``,
counts 12345 54321, 30 second pause to tune your transmitters. 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;

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?
QRZ.com, with 13 strict rules for QSLing: ``J62K St Lucia flag St
Lucia, SLCC Saint Lucia Contest Club, Soufriere, St Lucia`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 12030 & 9690, Mar 25 at 2256, REE roughly equal good signals
direct, but 12030 less noisy even tho it`s aimed away from US, for
2300 token English on Wednesdays; much better than 17715 for S
America. 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. I expect Ken Zichi will report a
very detailed log of this hour, so I don`t have to (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** TAIWAN [non]. 17790 // 15770, March 25 at 2212, R. Taiwán
Internacional via WRMI, equally VG S9+20/30 and S9+20, after contact
info, `Taiwán en 360 Grados`, interviewing visiting alcalde de
Belmopán, Belice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, March 24 at 2300, VOT probably JBA direct opening
English, not off the air but sufficient into UTwente. 5960, March 25 at 2301, NO signal direct, and still no signal at 2338
into UTwente, just Chinese. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.

Propagation poor but WWCR 13845 & 12160 still inboom. All would be
SSOB. Greenvilles also audible but hardly strongs. 9930 back on at 2030
check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9455, March 25 at 2218 and still 2222, WRMI with S9+10 of
dead air - or trace of mod? or cross-mod. 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. At 2330 keeps going rather than
chopped off like last weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also
