Bookmark this site: http://topazdesigns.com/ambc/aminfo.html  then select your AM frequency and it will return a list of all domestic stations on that frequency.  From there you are then able to search by format, showing only the stations that you care about (Spanish language stations in this instance).  Doing this for 1660 leaves the following Spanish stations: KTIQ, KXOL & WGIT Puerto Rico.  WGIT is probably more realistic over the others from your location, especially with the salt water path, and conditions were slightly auroral last night, meaning Southern stations had the advantage.
