So it was really because they wouldn't let you pretend that you
owned
them...



No, it was because the 120 station strong Puerto Rico Broadcasters
Association felt the stations were illegal. And they were.

Illegal my ass...

AFRTS Buchannan could be easily heard in Hato Rey, Old San Juan and
Cataņo
and the northern reaches of Guaynabo, very illegal coverage. AFRTS Ramey
could be heard on the coast as far as Isabela to the East and Aguada and
Moca to the West and Southwest.


It's a government radio station, providing info to gov't personnel.


No, it is a Military station intended to serve, and only serve, military
personnel on base. In fact, in US territories where the FCC licenses
stations, they are not supposed to get any signal off the base.
