A quick attempting at decoding with Grittty returned a bunch of gibberish for me. YMMV.

Shortwave broadcasters from South American seem to often be weak signal receptions here.

That said, I probably should be looking more in the afternoons to early evenings for possible trans-equatorial propagation from South America.

BTW, must be nice to hear stations between 6000 and 6030, at least during my own usual evening listening times. Radio Havana Cuba on 6000 could about pass for a local AM. Usually even worse, Radio Marti on 6030 is sometimes S9+60 or more.
