** ALGERIA [and non]. 17600, Aug 8 at 0620, music at S3/S5, no doubt
Ifrikya FM, the OSOB except for 17850 JBA carrier which would be
France. Usually at least a trace of 17600 in the nightmiddle, depite
the `high` frequency and little else on 16 or even 19m. Also JBA at
1455. Nominal sked per EiBi is 0600-2200 Béchar site in Arabic but
with irregular French at 0630-0730 & 1900-1930. In fact I think there
is more of a mixture of languages, incuding at least bits of English
IDs, and 5-minute segments tho none caught lately. HFCC merely
0600-2200, and nothing else ever on 17600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COSTA RICA. re: 21288 USB, August 7 at 2210, TI5/N4YDU making
quickontax, a contest? QRZ.com does not explain why he be in CR nor
for how long, but page has not been updated for 7+ years: ``N4YDU USA
flag USA, NATHAN G MORESCHI, 225 Lumberjack Lane, Louisburg, NC 27549,
USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

I contacted Nate on CW tonight; he was operating TI7W, which is a
“contest station". Many hams go to Caribbean or Central American
countries for contest weekends, where they can rent the use of a
well-appointed stations like TI7W. I'm guessing he's there for the
Worked All Europe contest this weekend (CW version), and perhaps he's
staying over til the following weekend for the North American QSO
Party (SSB).

When visitors are operating during non-contest periods, I believe they
must apply for their own station license (or there may be a reciprocal
agreement in some countries), thus the TI5/N4YDU callsign. Since they
are only away from home temporarily, I wouldn’t expect them to edit
their QRZ page.

Some ops, especially frequent contesters, prefer to make "quickontax",
as you call them, even if they're not in a contest at the moment. This
would better allow them to see how well their signal is getting out,
but it's also a matter of preferred style, of course.

0500, and 9700 after 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
