Hi, Jacob and all listers. Jacob, you might try using google again but this
time using some punctuation variation. The way I would write your search is
"finnish"websites. The reason the word "finnish" is in quotes is that that
makes google look specifically for the word finnish in website titles. You
could also type "foreign-language"websites and see what brings up.
Curiously enough, I've come across a lot of foreign-language looking for
radio station callsigns. It seems that the three- and four-letter callsigns
the FCC gives our radio stations in some cases alo have completely different
meanings in other languages. You might try looking for the websites of some
of the U.S.'s foreign-language stations. To find, for example, the website
for Asian outlet KYPA-AM in Los Angeles, California, type "kypa"am,radio
into google. Not only will you get the station's website (most of which is
in korean), but you will get several other websites in foreign languages
making reference to kypa. If you want to try for Spanish-language sites,
type "wado"am,radio which will bring the New York City's Spanish station as
well as other English and Spanish sites making reference to WADO.
Good luck and to all, take care.
