This is a ham operator on the 20 metre band calling CQ ie a contact request (CQ = Seek You).
He's saying:
>>>
Calling CQ, calling CQ, calling CQ
This is October November Seven Hotel Lima United
[he then repeats variations of this]
<<<
His phonetic alphabet varies during the transmission and is non-standard! The first letters of his callsign identify him as a ham operator from Belgium.
