Theo and Chuck,

I'm pretty sure you are both correct-- this is probably another case like 1000-Radio Record showing up on "999" in the Cook Islands. With an Ultralight radio you can hear booming South Americans 1 kHz away from the set frequency, and unless the language provides a clue, it's easy to assume that you have a TP or DU on the dial frequency. I'll review the recording to pull up a little more context.
