I dug out an aircheck from the shelf this past weekend,it had airchecks
from the Portland Maine area,recorded in 1980.On this tape was a snipet of
WJBQ when they were still at 106.3(if I recall,they swapped freq with WDCS
for the 97.9 spot in the Fall of '80),and simulcasting on 1440,which was
still a daytimer then.I caught a top of hour ID on this tape,it went like
this:WJBQ-FM Scarborough,AM Westbrook/Portland.What a coincidence I played
this tape and we have a post about legal ID's with FM/AM.           Mark
