URUGUAY 9620.4 SODRE at 0142 UT. Presumed this one with two men in
Spanish, possibly joined briefly by a third man at 0144. Seemed soft music
around 0148-0150, then little or nothing audible past 0200. Definitely
music at 0209 recheck. Very, very faint with annoying het from 9620 only
partially nulled.
