Thanks to a mostly-water route, reception is fairly common.
The foreign language station on 1540 is CHIN Toronto, also often heard in MA.

Per Wikipedia "ZNS-1 is the oldest broadcast station in the Bahamas. It has a News/Talk format, and broadcasts on AM frequency 1540 kHz and FM frequency 104.5 MHz."

I'm in Charleston SC. They are the dominant station on 1540 here.
Years ago when I lived in KC, I heard them a couple of times on my TRF
during KXEL Sunday morning SP. I think they ran classical mx overnight
back then (late 60s).
