[IRCA] WREM 710 IS NOW WCXJ 780 Monticello, Maine

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

I saw this on fybush.com this morning and wanted to pass it along for anyone
who doesn't read Scott's website but might want to try to log this "new"
one..

*Up in Aroostook County, WREM (710 Monticello) has new calls and a new
frequency: Allan Weiner's AM signal is now "WCXJ," and we hear it's made the
move up the dial to 780 kHz, where it will keep its 5 kW non-directional
daytime signal and add 60 watts of night power. Better yet - the website for
sister shortwave station WBCQ includes this nifty picture of a 1932-vintage
Western Electric 12A transmitter that's being restored for night use on 780.
(See link below for the picture)... Weiner claims - and we have no reason
whatsoever to doubt him - that the Western will be the oldest transmitter in
regular service anywhere on the AM dial in the country. (We've got to get up
there and visit the WBCQ/WCXJ site, one of these days...)*

And here's a pciture from WBCQ Shrotwave's Website which has a picture of
the Western Electric 12A Transmitter:
