Heard here (or at shore 15-20 miles away) on 1200 at various times:

Fortaleza, Brazil - Portuguese
YVOZ Caracas, Venezuela - Spanish "R. Tiempo"
WKOX Framingham/Boston, MA, USA - Spanish "R. Rumba"

Maybe that helps.

Thanks for reporting KWHN-1650. The station had been off since early
spring due to flood damage at the transmitter site. It's good to
learn they've returned. I'll have to try to log them this evening
before sunset. It shouldn't be too difficult a reach at only 296
kilometers.

I logged a couple of new Arkansas stations within the last 24 hours,
KGFL-1110 (5 kW @ 458 km) and KCAB-980 (32 W @ 406 km), using a
SRF-T615.

Good DX. While you're hearing signals from across an ocean, I'm just
hoping to catch something from over the river.
