They are hard to hear.  Got them once years ago when conditions were ideal.

On normal night pattern, they are inaudible about all the time.  CBA, of
course, and CHOK is common.  Other than that, it has to be someone testing
to get above the noise.  There are some medium power South Americans, but I
don't recall hearing any.  I am looking forward to CBA moving to FM.  I can
only hope it happens before WTIC and KYW start night IBOC.
