W279BQ-103.7 On-Air (Where?); New Pirate On 94.9?

[raccoonradio@mail.com]

 They may be licensed to Salem--indeed at 5 pm I heard an ID that said "WSMA Scituate 90.5 FM,
simulcast on 103.7 W279BQ Salem" (or words to that effect)

Drove around Beverly, also 128 from Beverly to Lynnfield (where I lose them). Maybe based on
Highland Ave Salem and best heard in Bev., Salem, Danvers, Swampscott, Peabody, Lynn?

The translator from Gloucester, W279BQ-103.7, was noted for the first time last night at 7:50pm——though it is passing WSMA-90.5 Scituate, not WRYP-90.1 Wellfleet, as expected. 
As for where it's xmt-ing from, 
 
Cummings Center, Beverly:  Lic. 
http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/FMTV-service-area?x=FX1332585.html 
 
or 
 
Highland Ave. (c.Hawthorne Sq. Mall), Salem:  CP 
http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/FMTV-service-area?x=FX1351441.html 
 
There didn't seem to be any spike in strength as I was coming home past the Cummings Center, so I strongly suspect it is Highland Ave. location (unless its the formerly planned Beverly Farms spot at Hart & Hale St.s?). 
Also, when I left Beverly Depot this morning, there seemed to be a Jazz station mixed in, both on 103.7 AND 90.5, **BUT** the 103.7 signal seemed to be independent of W279BQ (i.e., it didn't seem like 'BQ was passing both signals)! 
Also this morning, noted a fairly strong signal on 94.9 playing EZ-listening type instrumental music, here in Beverly:  I don't believe it was W235AV out in Tatnuck.  It appeared gone by noon or 1-ish.
