I'm listening to 873 KHz, appears to be a Japanese station, broadcasting

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 .

A lot of Spanish influence persists, however. Many of the people I
know from the Philippines have Spanish names; of course, many have
Tagalog names too.
