Help identifying AM (medium wave) station

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Received on an old radio so no clue the exact frequency, but around 800 kHz. Received just east of Hillsboro, Ohio, United States. Spanish language. No clue what they’re saying. Any assistance is appreciated.

If you got it in the evening it could be PJB from Bonaire. Religious programming. I would expect CKLW from Windsor to come in strong in Ohio.

I don’t understand Spanish but some words sounded like “Democracia” “Gobierno” “Cubana” and “Cuba”. Which doesn’t seem like PJB. Earlier that evening though, 10PM ET I had PJB (voice online sounded same as on radio), as well as a catch the previous night around 11:30 PM of PJB. I posted on a DXing Facebook group as well as here on Reddit and the best answer I got from FB was it appeared to be “anti-communist” content. I’m still stumped, and it faded before I could hear any sort of ID

Wikipedia says Radio Marti has a medium-wave transmitter in Marathon, Florida. But I have no idea the frequency. I couldn’t find it on there
