Likely you had WELD. They are heard frequently here before my local signs
on. They usually have a very good signal.

Driving to work at sunrise this morning, I had the radio tuned to 690
trying to identify a station that was way down in the mud. A couple of
times, I heard the announcer identify with two letters: W-B or W-E or some
combination of the letter W followed by a letter that rhymes with E,
obviously not a legal callsign, but probably a nickname of the callsign or
somesuch.
There was not much content --- some news and sports and ads. I thought
West Virginia was mentioned once or twice. The only station on 690 in that
state is WELD. Could they have been identifying WELD as W-E? I dunno. CKGM
took over 690 about half way to work, so that is all I heard.
Does anyone have a clue of what I heard? (I was traveling through central
Connecticut at the time.)
