This is kind of funny, to me anyway -- I've also been hearing KWTO fighting with WIND. WIND is the nighttime regular, but the last year or so KWTO (I think) has been fighting with it. It's so much noise! And so elusive! And it's only rarely that I can make out a word of KWTO. Lots and lots and lots of words, but I can't understand any of them. For all I know, they might be sitting there in Springfield saying, "banana banana banana banana..." over and over, but probably not. It's a running joke with me. I've been able to ID KWTO maybe twice at most.
From Springfield, OH...
KOZN, Belleview, NE, and also a station broadcasting in Spanish what sounded like a basketball or some other sport play by play. I checked the known spanish stations on 1620 (2 in Mexico and one in NJ) and they were all playing music. No idea what it could have been, would periodically play a portion of the 80s instrumental song, Axel F... I need to get me some directional antenna that can null out stations...

There is no licensed 1620 in NJ.... and no 1620 doing spanish in the Us unless theres been a change somewhere
The FCC lists 970616AG in Toms River, but not sure what those letters mean. I did find a listen live link for Radio Vida in NJ at 1620 as well. Nonetheless, it was not what I was hearing, and you're right, no other spanish language stations located in the US.
Wonder if that could be getting pirated? I will continue to try to listen and get some more clues. I like a mystery...
1680 WTTM is the Spanish station from New Jersey, not 1620.

Thats just an allocation or application.. ti was to be a sister to WJRZ 1550, long long gone. 1620 was never on the air there
Nice detective work. Pays to never give up.
Is that your longest distance on AM aside from Australia-New Zealand? Amazing you can pull that off.
No...I've heard from UK AM's and also some middle east AMs.. Iran, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait
I made national news in australia for my log of 7ZR 936, 10kw 2 tower in Hobart, Tasmania form 8000 miles away
Curious what this is, lists it as Paterson, NJ.

Gotcha, thanks. Still hunting for what I might be hearing. Grabbed an audio copy of 2 minutes. Trying to find a spanish audio converter.
Thanks! Part of my motivation was in all of my years as a DXer as a DXer in northwest suburban Chicago, I had NEVER heard anything UNDER WIND. Until about about six months ago, I did hear KWTO a couple of times with WIND off.

thats a pirate
It could be a pirate, but could be an online only station. I don't get anything on 1620 other than WNWN396 North Arlington, NJ or Radio Rebelde from Cuba. Hey, maybe that's the other 1620 you got in Spanish, the one from Cuba.Curious what this is, lists it as Paterson, NJ.

Thx for the possibility but I even checked Radio Rebelde.
Think it must have been a pirate. I'll try again tomorrow nite.Same here, and I'm about 20 miles from their array. Catching WFIL, KLVI, KLZ and KWTO all came after their Sunday night signoff at 2 a.m., following the Whiffenpoof song.
