[IRCA] WREM 710/780 Correction

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, obviously in my subject line it said "WCXJ" but infact, in Scott
Fybush's report, it said "WCXH". The WCXJ call letters belong to 1590 in
Kersage, PA.

Thanks to Brent Taylor, I have an audio clip which I posted for everyone..
