The '70s were another time for sure.  Partly it was that the clears 
hadn't broken down completely, and that there were split channels 
like 655 and 725,  but conditions were just different.   830 was the 
Ecuadorian I remember best, Huancavilca, and it was in regularly for 
a year or two.

But Colombia wasn't too unusual.  Venezuela was tougher but not 
impossible.  Surinam 725 benefited from the split frequency.   Don't 
recall any beyond that in South America, though I think Bruce Portzer 
and/or Phil Bytheway heard Argentina and Chile also.  But those were 
likely on long-dead clear channels.

best wishes,

Nick
