Since I have a 1240 local (WBAS) that is somewhat southerly of here, I won't have a shot at this unless that station goes off.
Nulling WBAS gets me northerly stations such as WSYY Millinocket, ME.
What I could suggest is monitoring 1240 at various times of day on the Bonaire KiwiSDR:

Pete, were any TA's audible during your trip? How many US stations made it down there? Any other comments about Caribbean / South America / Central America stations not recently reported by East Coast DXpeditions (PEI, ME, NJ, etc.) or in logs submitted by me and other eastern DXers such as Conti, Naud, Willie, etc.?

I just completed a quickie Caribbean cruise (Ft. L., St. Thomas, Martinique, Grenada, Bonaire, Cura?ao) and at night in St. Thomas, noted a Radio Maria on 1240. It was pretty weak there but got progressively stronger as we headed southward. I Googled it and found a Radio Maria on 1240 in the Dominican Republic; it is not in WRTVH. I vaguely recall from 5-10 years ago a 100+kw station on 1240 planned for somewhere in Brazil but don?t recall ever seeing anything like this reported.
Any ideas on what this might be?
