** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Fri Feb 20 at 2323, WRMI relay S9+50,
nothing but Argentine music, with canned multi-lingual ID reels
repeated several times, 2325, 2336, 2341, 2352. Never any `live`
announcements about the music or anything else, nor at closing, right
into WRMI ID at 2359; so we can`t know what single language this might
have been intended. The RAE gridblock at WRMI is totally wrong,
claiming it`s Portugués [sic] M-F 2300-0000 on 7570 & 9955 - NOT.
System D does show RAE on 9455, 2300-0000 Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri only in
Portugués [sic] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``401 MCW kHz, Nov 28 at 0734 UT, dash and YPO, 500 watt ND
beacon in Peawanuck, Ontario. First audible tuned to 402 USB where
mixing with HU Hutchinson KS really on 404. Only one logged before
offdozing tonight despite entire continent clear of any Blitzstorms.

YPO, logged a number of times since Dec 8, 2018 when I appended:
```love these colourful placenames. Wikipedia: ``Peawanuck is an
isolated Cree community in the Kenora District, Ontario, Canada. It is
located near the confluence of the Winisk and Shamattawa rivers, about
35 km from the Winisk River's end in Hudson Bay. Its population is
237````` --- that does not mean it is anywhere near Kenora in the SW
corner of the province!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COSTA RICA. 28500 USB, Feb 20 at 2318, TI2JJP calling CQ10.
QRZ.com: ``TI2JJP Costa Rica flag Costa Rica, QSL Mgr EA7FTR, ING.
JOSE "TI9JJP" PASTORA, QSL Manager EA7FTR, PO Box 2048-2050 SAN PEDRO

10m really hopping with lots more from Chile, Australia, Japan, not
logged; and were logged in this report: Brazil, New Zealand, qq.vv.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Portuguese, but pleasant listening, S9+10/20. As for RHC itself, at
2327 11760 is S9+20/30 of windhowl only, 11880 S9+20 of clean dead

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 6180, Feb 20 at 0750, token English from RNA, indeed no
more samba-school stuff, but about RNA`s own early history, at Parque

started during military dictatorship 50 years ago in 1974, to counter
hostile Cold War broadcasts into Brasil in Portuguese, such as RHC.

UT Fridays on the sked at the end of Thursday! NRC AM Log calls it
``Multicultural``, U1 1000/250 watts. The other being R. Enciclopedia,
Cuba, which had been reported missing lately; it`s *not* overflowing
