WALE is Spanish

[Dave Doherty]

Hi, all-

>From the STA App they filed in January (sorry about the caps, that's all the 
FCC accepts in its app system):

"WALE (AM), GREENVILLE, RHODE ISLAND, WENT SILENT ON DECEMBER 29, 2006, 
BECAUSE OF TECHNICAL PROBLEMS IN THE CURRENT OPERATING CONFIGURATION OF THE 
STATION'S FACILITIES. DUE TO THE TECHNICAL PROBLEMS IN THE CONFIGURATION, 
THE STATION IS CONSUMING AN UNUSUALLY LARGE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICAL POWER. THIS 
SIGNIFICANT AND DISPROPORTIONATE CONSUMPTION OF ELECTRICAL POWER HAS MADE IT 
ECONOMICALLY INFEASIBLE TO CONTINUE OPERATING THE STATION UNDER THE CURRENT 
CONFIGURATION. CUMBRE COMMUNICATIONS CORP. REQUESTS PERMISSION TO REMAIN 
SILENT WHILE IT RECONFIGURES ITS OPERATING SYSTEM TO CURE THIS TECHNICAL 
ISSUE."
