Received a strange message in Spanish on 251.275 MHz coming from an unknown satellite in the CONUS slot.
I was told by henrygb on RadioReference.com forums that the message says:
Hi, I’m Julio Domingo , I want to share good news for Argentina, I want to report that the Chamber of Deputies of the nation which I reside approved local law sovereign payments sent by President Cristina Fernandez of Kitchner.
I guess we’ll mark this one in the oddball column of the log.
Dutch accented station identifying as Blue Bell calling JIATF South.
