Dxing 760 am

On my recent logs, other than WJR (tx city: Romulus/Riverview, MI) at 248 mi./399 kM. is KCCV Overland Park, KS [Kansas City metro] at 409 mi./658 kM (still on omnidirectional antenna near my local sunset with 6kW). WJR can be heard in the daytime with some splatter from WNDZ (750, Portage, IN, 15kW, directional, towards my location) Many years ago I logged the 760 from Mexico City, but haven't heard the station in many years... thought I heard Cuba once on the frequency, also many years ago, however, I couldn't verify that...

Daytime it is dominated by KTKR San Antonio.
Nighttime it is a jumble of Spanish language. I have never heard WJR here in recent years. I had a lot of trouble hearing them in Dallas. I don't know if that is due to IBOC sapping their transmit power, or due to the many interfering stations.

Near the Straits of Mackinac, I have heard KCCV on daytime facilities, but I don't remember hearing anything else besides and WJR that anywhere in MI. WARD 750 Petoskey causes adjacent channel interference, but in a very limited area.
Well, so far the most distant station I've confirmed is KKZN Thornton / Denver, CO, about 833 mi NE of me. I heard them one afternoon this past year on one of my Tecsun radios (PL-398mp, IIRC, don't remember if I used the SAT but I may have) during a BOH news break, still on 50 kW day pattern. I never heard the call (under KFMB) but did hear places in the Denver area mentioned during traffic & weather.
I also sometimes hear Spanish in the background when nulling KFMB, but have yet to confirm it. Hey what would it take for me to get, for example, 25 kW LU6 Radio Atlántica from Mar del Plata, Argentina, 75 kW CB76 Radio cooperativa from Santiago, Chile, 100 kW HCQR Radio Quito La Voz de la Capital from Quito, Ecuador, or better yet 1 kW / 0.25 kW ZYK222 Rádio Princesa do Jacuí from Candelária, Brazil, considering Mexico is generally southeast of me on approximately the same range of headings?
Other than KKZN and the unID Spanish, my DX on 760 from home consists of KFMB. The video below should give an idea of their signal here.

They are 7.3 mi NW of me. (I guess you'd call that DX since my radio's antenna input wasn't directly connected to their transmitter output?

)I heard a station from Colombia on 760 a few decades back, DXing from Detroit proper (okay, WJR was off for late-night maintenance).
I also heard a Radio Reloj Cuban station on 760 (that "didahdit-didahdit" every minute makes them easy) WHILE WJR WAS ON with about a 40 mV/m signal (nulled WJR out on Realistic TRF). I don't think Reloj has been on 760 in recent decades at all.
