Mark,

I remember Surinam 725. They were pretty regular running 50 KW, if I remember correctly. Back in the day, when YNX 750 was strong. Latins are few and far between here in the NW. There are a few exceptions like Cuba on 530 & 640.

Besides all the great DX we used to enjoy, it should also be mentioned 
that reading about the actual DXers of yesteryear should also be quite 
enlightening.
 
There are quite a few names whose legend has lived on - long after they 
have either passed away or left the hobby.
 
I got into IRCA sometime in the mid '70s, a couple of years after I'd 
joined NRC, even though my actual DXing goes back to 1960 (age 10-11).  
My early days of DXing autobiography is still online at ' 
http://www.qsl.net/wa1ion/wa1ion_history.htm '.
 
One thing I miss is all the Latin Americans that were on 5 kHz and 
other splits.  Suriname 725 was the ten-ton gorilla here in coastal MA, 
but there were many more from South American, Central American, and 
Caribbean countries that are now impossible to hear (= no more AM) or 
nearly impossible (few stations, low power, heavy US/Cuba/Canada QRM).
 
To keep down the clutter, I'll refrain from having everyone else's 
chatter appended to the bottom of my message.
