Lots of Over-The-Horizon Radar OTHR OTH-R interference buzz radar QRM on the band tonight.  These guys are right at the top edge of the roughly 40-50 kHz wide radar signal (starts at around 6900 kHz, another popular Spanish language freebanding frequency).

Mention of "Venezuela" at 0236 UTC and "Argentina" at 0237 UTC.  Lots of fading, there's a stronger station talking to a JBA station, and another, third station is also active on this frequency, sounds like a YL.  Possible ID as actual fishing fleet net (which would explain the YL talking to her husband while he's out on the boat?)  Hard to say for sure as the heavy fading mixed with OTH radar QRM means I'm getting maybe 25% of what the strongest station is saying. 
U.S. East Coast, various HF/VHF/UHF radios/transceivers/scanners/receivers - land mobile system operator - focus on VHF/UHF and 11m
