Thanks, dxAce - I am very pleased with this one. Also have two others
outstanding right now for RAI Italy and SLBC Sri Lanka. Hopefully,
reports of all of these will encourage others to try for them as well -
I believe that maintenance of this hobby as a vibrant avocation for
both broadcasters and listeners depends on this type of positive
back-and-forth communication.

Now if I can just master Arabic and Portuguese...

BTW, my apologies to all for the multiple postings - Google was
indicating newsgroup connection errors this morning, but apparently
sent them through anyway.

You might try to find one of Gerry Dexter's Portuguese reporting guides on
Amazon or Barnes & Noble, seems as though one of them either had one new, or
through a used seller in the last couple weeks when I checked.

Speaking of QSL's, I was on the phone twice last week with the Mauritanian
Embassy trying to figure out a way to get them to verify. Very difficult
explaining what one wants with someone who has no idea what you are requesting,
and/or doesn't understand English very well.

Here is a nice article about DX'ing Brazil, it is a bit dated, having been
written in 1989, but still has some relevent info:
