Thats entirely possible Carl, so you could well be correct, but after the 
war, they borrowed very heavily from us for their own com rules, so even 
now I wouldn't expect huge deviations from our rules. The final answer 
should come from whatever document they maintain that is the equ of our 
47 CFR.  And even if I had access to it, I read very very little 
Japanese, most of that from the engrish translations of Sony manuals.
