I'm listening to 873 KHz, appears to be a Japanese station, broadcasting
tsunami alerts for several Japanese prefectures for up to 6'. Lot of
languages: Japanese, English, Korean, Spanish (wouldn't think there
would be a lot of Spanish speakers in Japan...)


Anyone on the west coast hear it? Pretty strong signal here in the ROK,
and I don't get a lot of Japanese stations.


Don't they habla Espanol in the Phillipines?


Are you kidding ? They have their own language(s) . Literally dozens
of them . And besides , Spanish has not been used for a long time .
Since 1898 , I believe , it has lost the status of being the official
language ... I did meet some of the older people who did converse in
Spanish , but that was many years ago .
