That was LU5BOJ/O from FG75 whom I worked at 01:52 UTC. We worked briefly as he was about to lose the bird. Not sure why he used the portable designation. It was O for Oscar as per his phonetics, and not a zero. Perhaps it's required in his country while working through a satellite? It's interesting that his first name is Oscar.

That's the first station I have heard from Argentina on any of the birds.

Awesome! I called him but had another station reply to me. I'll keep an eye out for him on the air and try to find an e-mail to set up a schedule. I've worked LU on AO-40 and I think AO-10, but I don't think I was able to get a QSL for those QSOs. I assume you worked him en Espanol?
