105.5mhz FM band in Queens shares FMLP licensure through the Roman Catholic Diocese and a Chinese Anti-Communist organization. Its only 100 Watt though so easy to break into.

How much you wanna bet the money behind the Ecuadorians eventually traces back to the Chinese Government? It can't be cheap to get pirate transmitters siezed over and over.
