Where you might be exposed to French letter on the radio? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quebec

I believe this is a double definition.

'where you might be exposed to french' is the first definition.
(Quebec's official language is French)

'letter on the radio?' is the second definition.
(Quebec is Q in the NATO Phonetic Alphabet)

(Other definitions for quebec that I've seen before include "French-speaking province of eastern Canada" , "Francophone Canadian province" , ".French-speaking province of E Canada" , "Largest Canadian province" , "Canadian city and province, French-speaking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
