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. 
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

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