This is an interesting suggestion from Earl, and it allows me to mention a fairly new FM resoure available online. I've decided to call the unID as WJIM, which essentially means deleting it as WJIM is a common log here. But I was able to seaerch on WJM and WJN via the WTFDA's FM station database, which is online at http://db.wtfda.org . It yielded many possibilities that would be worth checking out if I didn't feel this one is indeed WJIM and such searches would inevitably lead to a dead end or to a logging with too much guesstimation for my comfort level. Interestingly, WJMC WI 1240 has an FM, also WJMC, on 96.1 (not .3). But I'm closing my book on this one. You and countless others have helped immeasurably and I'm calling it as WJIM. All your help is appreciated! Saul Chernos Burnt River ON

Does anyone else here ".3 WJNA" near the beginning of the clip WJNA-huh? It might refer to an FM, as in "92.3 WJNA" or somesuch. Seems like we need to do a search on all FM stations on a frequency ending in .3 with a "WJ" at the start of their callsign. Then see if any of them have any reason to simulcast on 1240.

I didn't mention it, but it seemed there was a tiny fraction of a second delay between WJM & the C, & now notice very indistinct short noise (letter??) that I was "sure" was a C. What's before sounds like WJNE on that one & WJNE on the 2 others as well. WJNE is an FM station in Bethany Beach, DE, that has primary coverage to MD. Think I saw the biggest town nearby is Salisbury? If we can find out if WJNE-FM Bethany Beach, DE owns anything on 1240, we may solve this. Dual ownership could be anywhere, & they may also have a different format. Also, syndicated programs might mention affiliates. Worse yet, what if it's not call letters, but an abbreviation for some organization? So maybe contacting WJNE-FM & asking if they own anything on 1240 would be the last good chance. 73, George S., MN On Monday, December 30, 2013 9:39 PM, Chernos Saul <[email protected]> wrote: Thank you, to the many of you, who listened and have pointed me to WJIM in Lansing MI. I can now hear it the final clip, and somewhat in the other one from the 16th. I'm still thinking the one from the 5th could ever so slightly be be WJMC, but because I've had that one before, and I have also had WJIM often enough, I will let this trio go its merry way. I'm glad to have this one solved. I'm still going through multiple unIDs from earlier this month up here. Plus a few unattended graveyard recordings. Had to toss a 1340 that gave a partial KY phone number because two stations were mixing and one was an Indiana relog (Elkhart, which IDs as 95.3 MNC) - it was pretty well impossible to tell which was which. Sometimes it's better to toss when it becomes obvious it'd be a crapshoot and guess to log. So a big thank you to those who listened and commented. Greatly appreciated!!!
