Could well be the quite regular Portuguese-speaking peskies on this freq (presumably fishermen out of Brazil and/or The Azores).
All reception from this location, radio and antenna.
QTH New Hampshire (70 miles north of Boston).
Tecsun S-8800 and Kenwood R-2000, with about 135 feet of wire thrown up in the trees.
eQSLs most appreciated to molvaniapoacher@gmail.com.

My guess was always the Azores, Poacher. They've been fishing the Grand Banks for 500 years.

They used to make all kinds of fun of Doctor Tornado in Radio Metallica's heyday after he would run over their comms. They could speak English when they had to. It would get pretty funny when all the boats were claiming to be "Doctor Mother F***ing Tornado".

Agreed Pigmeat-- That's my working assumption too. I wonder what those scrappy, seafaring Azoreans made of Seņor El Niņo?!
