27.255 MHz LSB - Spanish language chatter - a different QSO
27.255 MHz AM - numerous AM carriers and signals going on at once

Also in the upper part of the band:

I'm at work, but I did check a SDR near D.C and heard a few big stations on 27.555 USB. 27.385 had some activity, but the signals were very weak.
