All three are solved, and I offer my thanks.
A Janesville WI DXer, whose name I don't know (he replied on the WTFDA Forums
where I posted the audio clips) says the 1380 might be WTJK (from his
neighbouring South Beloit, Illinois). He's right. I can hear 105.9 the Hog, and
I would have been getting WI and environs via grey line at that time, after
local sunrise. I've heard it before, in fact I've visited a friend across the
state line in Beloit WI a few years ago. I remember dutifully switching the WI
to IL in my 'by frequency' logbook when the stations licenced location was
reported to have moved from Beloit WI to South Beloit IL a number of years ago.
Chris in Poughkeepsie NY noted that WTJK looks to be WBEL now. I'll have to
check. This station has legs...
Chris and Steve Francis of TN ID the 1240 as "Timeless 12-40, WJTN Jamestown",
and they're spot on there. It's kind of too close to be DX. The T in the calls
fooled me. But it didn't fool Chris or Markku Jussila of Finland, who also
notes that it's ABC news affiliate. I can hear the calls clearly upon
relistening, knowing it's them. I can also hear 'Jamestown' clearly enough. But
I heard none of that earlier on.
Steve also IDs the 580 as "WYHM, Rockwood", with the "Y" in a fade. They're a
semi-local for him, and he says he's heard that legal ID many a time. Indeed I
listened again and the Y sounds like an S, but I can make out the HM at the end
well enough to log it. I note a pause between the calls and "Rockwood" before
it goes into network news. I can't accuse this station of a rapid-fire ID. It's
previously heard here but infrequent.
Thanks, all, your help with these is appreciated!
