Re: [IRCA] 1520 Spanish

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was in the Caribbean about 5 years ago and noticed the Puerto Rico 
stations consistently doing legal IDs in Spanish.  At the time I thought 
it was a bit odd.  Later I wondered if Puerto Ricans had waivers 
allowing them to do that, seeing as nearly everyone there, including the 
local FCC staff, speaks Spanish.
