Radio Sticker of the Day Mailbag - WLEY

A jumbo package of radio sticker heaven arrived in my mailbox yesterday from Dan Sys in Langley, BC.  Along with a stack of decals, he also sent some pens, a lanyard, a banner and assorted other goodies.  THANK YOU DAN!!  Inside I was happy to find a decal that I've been trying to hunt down for a few years now...

I first saw this sticker while visiting Chicago about 5 years ago.  My records show that I've emailed them multiple times and sent one self-addressed stamped envelope but never had any luck getting a sticker.  WLEY "La Ley 107.9" is a Regional Mexican station licensed to Aurora, Illinois.
