BRAZIL
On MW, quite a number of stns pop out here & there as early as 2045, w/

sl. "quando acontece um fa(c)to, a R.Congonhas informa no a(c)to", news;
34332, QRM de usb traffic.   NB: the brackets indicate that in Braz.
Portuguese letter"c" in those words was dropped, and it's indeed curious:
we keep the "c", but its k sound is audible in "facto" and silent in "acto",
so here again another disconcerting "facto", fact, about the Portuguese
language that makes it rather tough to learn / speak.
