Interesting that you can hear this up in your area, where as here in SW WV, I usually have 1620kHz from Cuba and that Pensa Cola, FL station battling it out nightly. However, occasionally I do hear 'Good Times Golden Oldies', or 'Classic Rock', punching through. Of course, I have to hear this mobile, away from my own Part 15 AM1620. 
“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”

It's usually mixing in and out with Cuba, depending on propagation. Sometimes it's pretty clear, other times almost completely buried.
