** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Friday April 17 at 2326, tune-in to RAE via
WRMI, on portable ATS-909 with internal wire antenna due to heavy
storms in our area, causing lots of HSNL. Mostly music at first, then
Portuguese, really! and soon starting DX program ``DX.com.ar`` as I
try to copy the details. Soon recognize as exactly the same show I
monitored previously, including reference to an A24 schedule, until
2340. Never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

April 17 at 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.995, SS9+5 into

Also confirmed Friday April 17 at 2030 on WRMI webcast only.

Also confirmed Friday April 17 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9/+20 but JBA
due to high storm noise level (HSNL) from both sides of Enid but not
yet hit directly.

3975.002-, S9/+5 into UTwente.

but on by 0230. George says still some audio problems, too bassy,
hopes to fix tomorrow. S9+5/20 into Maryland SDR. Seems
undermodulated, and hum, vs HSNL.

Also confirmed Saturday April 18 at 0950 the 0930 on WRMI 7570 not
9455, S9+25 direct.

Also confirmed Saturday April 18 at 1452 the 1430 on SW Radio Gold,
