11780 KHZ @ 22:29 UTC in Portuguese.  Hybrid mix of Reggae / Caribbean music.   Mostly male vocals.  Signal strength strong @ peaks but slightly intermittent fading.   Fidelity crisper than normal.     Switched to a more electric, driving music at 22:37.   YL / YM conversation @ 22:39 .    Back to music with female vocals @ 22:42 as  fading dissipated quickly (probably due to grey line approaching @ 16:46 local).
Very enjoyable listening.
