Noticed this while skimming 25m, station ID almost right off the bat. OM announcer (the one with the booming baritone voice, I think he's been there for a long time) and YL, with occasional other OM and bits of music scattered throughout. This is very unusual for me to copy anything from South America at this time of day. I can't recall ever hearing it this early in 2016, when the sunspots were more plentiful and they hadn't yet suffered the transmitter fire from which they're still recovering. (Of course, I was using a random wire and Satellit 750 then.)

Signal quality has been variable, from a brief S9+ peak around 1630 to JBA as it is as of this writing (1649z). But free of interference and pretty quiet.

EDIT: there was another brief peak at 1659z: https://youtu.be/YfqQBj8fJes

This station often is heard booming in, early afternoon -- especially in beach
areas.  Used to be audible only in the evening.
