** ARGENTINA. 15344.96, Sunday July 17 at 1755, LRA is VP at S1, but some
conversation barely perceptible as Spanish. Definitely Spanish at 1759 surge to
S4, and algo distorted. 1800:00 accurate 6-pip timesignal mixing with the talk,
still Spanish. By 1809 it`s too weak to tell language, S 0.5 on the NRD-545.
I have been trying to confirm whether the RAE English broadcast preëmpt
the R. Nacional relay on Sundays during the 18 UT hour, as it has been confirmed
to do on Saturdays, but not last Sunday. Ivo assumed the 17 UT hour in German is
also on Saturdays & Sundays, i.e. daily (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15170.059, July 18 at 0443, BSKSA in Arabic at S9+10. Most

accurately down to the Hz, but consider the last digit as approximate (Glenn
