No, it is not "Tanpa."  On their own QSLs, it says "Radio Tampa," as I
have seen myself. And the "Tampa" spelling has nothing to do with the
Florida city, but is a Japanese word.

It has been under this spelling in both WRTH and Passport for the past few
years; the two books used to use different spellings, but WRTH changed
to the "Tampa" spelling a few years ago, so now both books use the same
one.

I believe that both books also mention "NSB", for "Nihon Shortwave
Broadcasting."
