Hi Dex,
That sounds like a Radio Reloj (Radio Clock) outlet from Cuba. Those are
common in the lower end of the broadcast band. I can hear one on 580 kHz in
the daytime in SC.

While turning across the AM BC band I heard a CW "RR" signal on 950 kHz
mixed with multiple BC stations. Listening to the frequency for a while
I determined the RR followed a brief tone dead on the top of each
minute along with a time tick each second. This was received on a
R-75 receiver so I switched to a SDR-IQ and heard the same signal. The
signal fades in and out like normal MF QSB. Here's a screen capture
showing the tone and the CW RR:
