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.

I heard the same broadcasts being repeated over and over on the NHK .
It is NOT Spanish , by the way . Rather , it is Brazilian
Portuguese . It has very unique intonations that differs it from Old
World Portuguese .
