DX Reception Report 5/30/18 New Britain, Connecticut

So my Mom had another doctor's appointment at Starling Medical on Kensignton Ave in New Britain, Connecticut. At 9:30AM I was able to pick up the following (some were stronger than others) Radio = Stock Radio in a 2010 Honda Civic LX:

93.3 WSNE Taunton, Mass
94.1 WHJY Providence, RI over local Translator W231CZ
94.9 WJJF Montauk, Long Island
95.5 K-LOVE Providence, Rhode Island (very staticy, but listenable. Matched the music to local K-LOVE station 106.9 WCCC). This was a surprise with local WKSS on 95.7 FM. *First time pick up since they were sold to K-LOVE. Picked them up as WBRU previously).
97.3 W??? - That Portuguese Station in New Bedford, Mass over semi-local WZBG from Litchfield, CT
98.1 WCTK New Bedford, Mass
98.3 WILI-FM Willimantic CT - I get them fairly regularly, but never crystal clear.
99.3 WMNP Block Island, RI (First time pick up)
103.3 WODS Boston, Mass (Crystal Clear)
103.7 WVEI-FM Westerly, RI I get them semi regularly, but never crystal clear.
104.5 WXLO - Fitchburg, Mass
105.1 WWLI - Providence RI
106.3 WWKX - Woonsocket, RI (Staticy but listenable)
106.5 WBMW Pawcatuck, CT - I can get them semi regularly, but never crystal clear
107.5 WFCC - Cape Cod - Very weak, but still identifiable as Classical Music
 
The Portuguese station in New Bedford is WJFD.

I was driving in Meriden a couple of hours later and noticed a strong signal covering up WJMJ 88.9 West Hartford at times. It was playing choral music, either religious or classical. Any idea what that might have been? WJMJ was back in the clear once I got up toward Berlin, so I never caught an ID on the other signal. I checked Sirius XM to make sure I wasn't hearing Symphony Hall or Met Opera Radio through someone else's FM modulator, but neither was playing what the mystery station was playing at the time.
 
@ CT Listener: A casual search of Radio-Locator suggests either Mt. Kisco NY or Boston's Emerson College as your 88.9er.

The bill is in the mail, along with a free refrigerator magnet, hi.

(Of course, you've probably looked up this info already. Just in case, though .... )
