Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Carlos Latuff, who writes:
Since the Brazilian government adopted legislation allowing AM stations to migrate to FM, the medium-wave spectrum has become more favorable for the propagation of radio signals from other countries—specifically, in the case of southern Brazil, from Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. As night falls, the radio dial in Porto Alegre fills with Spanish-speaking broadcasts. And any receiver can pick up these transmissions—and I mean *any* receiver, including this Sharp SG-220 all-in-one stereo system from the late 1970s.
As long as the neighbors don’t turn on any electrical appliances (which cause terrible interference), it’s possible to tune in perfectly to stations from those countries. In this video, I take a quick tour of the stereo system’s dial so you can get an idea of ??what I’m talking about, including an Illustrated Radio Listening Report.
Sorry Carlos, the “Malvinas” are actually English (Falklands).
You know when you’re in a bar with a girl and she’s like “Oh my God, I had a brief thing with that guy and now he won’t stop calling me”
But every time he asks she couldn’t be clearer that she’s not interested. So you tell the guy to back off and he starts trying to pick a fight with you and demanding that she comes back to him and blaming the guy she’s with now for stealing her.
All the while completely ignoring the fact that she doesn’t want him anymore, never really did, and is happy with who she’s with now.
Oh, and the dude’s a fascist.
This is very much the relationship Argentina has with the Falklands.
The Falklands are British just like Hawaii is American.
