Around 6:15 PM, I drove from the junction of Commonwealth and Brighton 
Avenues, up Brighton Avenue and Cambridge Street, with the car radio turned 
to 1580.  I heard what sounded like rock music in Spanish, and then an 
announcer speaking what sounded like Spanish.  The signal first became 
recognizeable a block or two up Brighton Avenue.  It faded as I approached 
St. Elizabeth Hospital.  It was never strong.
