660 kHz hum? Cubans?
 

WFAN 660 (NYC) early in the morning, listening in Ohio, has a pretty
loud AC hum along with it, except I can put an antenna null on it
and take the hum out without taking out WFAN.

Which suggests some (probably Cuban) other station is putting out
a hefty AC hum. I don't hear the other station audio otherwise, however.

This started Monday morning, and is still there today Tuesday.

Is it audio hum or carrier beat? Is it exactly 60 Hz?

I doubt it.

It is really tough for a Cuban to just hum. Usually, after a few bars, they
break into song, and tap the rhythm with their fingers or hands.

Caught me by surprise, I laughed out loud. Very good!

Besides local stations , I've had a problem like this for more than a
year below 700. Nights, elec.interference, listening unit, doesn't
matter- a loud buzz-hum. That is my fav. part of the band , too. I've
asked everyone I can think of, and it doesn;t seem to be happening in
other regions. Bryan, Cleveland

Mine was gone starting Friday morning, them having had a week to figure
out where to get a replacement filter cap in Cuba, I guess.

It turned out to be very handy, nulling the hum being an excellent
way to get rid of the babble from the south in favor of WFAN NYC,
being a constant source to gauge things off of.

I think you're right. I've found that to be true with both my Latin
and Greek friends, though the Greeks like to break plates while they
do it.
