Brazillian Pirate On 10230kHz Logged In Alaska!

Here's some audio and report form my log of a Brazillian pirate on 10230kHz.

I heard this Tuesday March 29th at 0417UTC(Monday the 28th, 817pm local time). The signal fades in and out, but gets quite clear at times. A spanish speaking friend ID one song as a Brazillian singer and some of the speech from the Jerky boys type comedy as Portuguese.

Others who heard this in the NE US reported a wobbly carrier and squishy mushy audio which is common even among licensed Brazillians like Amazonias on 11780 or Missionaria on 9665(whos drifted way over to 9666.6).

HFUnderground folks also have referred to this station as Radio Cidades, which is apparently a name they've borrowed from two licensed Brazillian stations

Audio:

There are no daytime AMs up here

Also stations like KVAK 1230 Valdez and KIFW 1230 Sitka which run 1kw and KLAM 1450 cordova which runs 250 watts arent Class C graveyarders or limited to 1kw like in the lower 48. along with hawaii, they could run up to 50kw, if they wanted to and it fit. KEWE 1240 in Hawaii runs 5kw

Not sure form which side of the earth i heard them for sure, but id guess the shortest way, over the south pole
