When the AM calls became WXHR, the FM calls became WXHR-FM, and the two stations 
simulcasted classical music.  They broadcast from the FM transmitter sight on Zion 
Mountain in Woburn.  I remember visiting the station at some time, probably in the summer 
of 1965, shortly after the change.  Over the board was a sign reminding people that the FM 
call was now WXHR-FM.  The AM was still a daytimer in those days, so the FM continued 
alone after sunset.

One of the announcers on WXHR in the early 1960s was Robert J. Lurtsema.
