Heard what I am sure was this one, on a buick car radio,
while driving down I-95 near Fayetteville NC about 2115
local time, 28 December 1997, being QRM'ed by PCH
data/cw from Holland. Man/woman in Spanish, slightly
watery/fluttery My best AM logging while mobile. This was
during exceptional CX as reported by others, and before
Atmore AL opened here. PCH Schevenigen Radio is
gone off air, as well. 1620 was the highest freq the car's
receiver would tune to. It was snowing at the time, if that
made any difference but I doubt it.
