Actually, the accent is from the Dominican Republic. In the recording we hear two callsigns, HI3EAS and KM4MDF. I'll be glad to shot him an email. Just let me know which frequency were they using.

I re-listened to the audio. Indeed, the call was KD4MDF. His accent was definitely central American Spanish. Most likely a Hispanic-American; the way he used the phrase "y yo lo creo" is a colloquial Spanish expression used by many Mexican-Americans. Literally translated it means "ok, I got that". It really means " .. and, yes, that is it ..." If he were European Spanish (the Mother-tongue) he would have said " Y Ya lo creo". There are so many distinct accents and little catch phrases in Spanish it it just like English. When I was in Spain, locals would immediately identify me as having learned Spanish from a Mexican. FYI my mother was raised by a Mexican Nanny who was Poncho Villa's youngest sister. I have lots of QSOs in Spanish as well as having done voice intercept operations for years, so I am sort of attuned, as it were. Never have a problem on CW, however :-). BTW, if you listen to the drug traffickers on 40 meters, you will hear that they have "zapatas" (shoes) --- those are kilos of heroin. Enough of this off-topic stuff already!

I'm not sure on the formatting issue.

Just curious..... 73, Bob K8BL

Drew, The Spanish-speaker's Call sounds like KD4MDF after listeningto it
multiple times. Kilo-Delta-Cuatro-Mike-Delta-Fauxtrot He slurs the last letter. That listing is from Orlando, FL. Heprobably doesn't realize that he's on a SAT uplink freq.

Just now on FO-29, I observed and recorded part of some strong FM QRM.
These
signals corresponded to an uplink of 145.900, and were from at least two sources, as there was a Spanish language QSO (of which I caught one US callsign), and a possibly non-amateur QSO in English with a northeastern accent and foul language. One or more of these may be originating from
an
Echolink node or similar gateway outside of the identifying station's control. I want to put this recording out there for anyone who might
know or
recognize the stations, and anyone that may hear something I didn't. The recording ends at about 16:08:15Z today.
