Peskies / Re: Unknown 6958 USB 2358 UTC 11 May 2023

« on: May 12, 2023, 0130 UTC »

I'm no expert, whatsoever, but that recording of the two peskies from Skip sounds just like ones I pick up here all the time-- and I thought that was Portuguese (so they were likely from Brazil or the Azores). I could certainly be wrong, but wondering if anyone is a speaker of either or both language, and could weigh in, just for educational purposes. Thanks!

MP

I am fluent in neither language, and with the noise and echo in the recording, I am not certain whether the 2 OM were speaking Spanish or Portuguese. I can usually tell the 2 languages apart from each other, but only in ideal circumstances.
