Thanks for the nice credit many are giving for the Globo 1220 tip. Jeff
Rostron heard the first hint of Brazil about two minutes before on 1000 kHz.
But I did stumble across Globo 1220 while not looking for it! Sadly 1000
kHz and 980 (which Roy Barstow reported later) are badly IBOCed by my local
on 990. Anyhow, I am very glad to receive Brazil #2.
As for Brazil #1, I first heard Globo Sao Paulo 1100 during an unnannounced
WTAM silent period, January 9, 2003. It was the last thing I would have
expected. Sadly, 1100 is well-known (or was) for non-verifying. I hope
that I can find an address that works for Globo 1220 in Rio.
The ones that got away were a tentative 870 Argentina (before WHCU Ithaca
went full-time), and I think a tentative in the X-band also from there.
