Nice catch!

I had some Spanish(?) music here, but not matching the WDHP stream. Now that has faded out, and been replaced with "White Christmas". Not sure if this is my semi-local pirate, or someone else.

Also noted a 3rd Spanish language station playing a mixed bag also with YL and OM

Hey, this is useful info! So they are back on air after hurricanes. (They still don't verify, but, and but.)
