Lost In The 90's .... Looking For ID's

[Steve Green NEPA]

Three days and cold night's worth of transcribing -- for what else is Cabin Fever designed as useful? -- and so there is now an entire looseleaf logbook of AM stations listed by frequency on the computer. It's from when I first moved here to PA and starting the 'total heard' list back at zero.
Thing is ... the whole logbook is from the 90's. There are several unID ID's I'm looking to ID, if you get the idea, plus some other imprecise entries.
Perhaps some of you folks, more assiduous than I've been, can help me out with some?

WLQE 590 The Lake -- Standards (Andy Williams, Lettermen, etc).
640 Toronto calls, pls ? ('The new beat of Toronto', 1993)
730 Simulcast of Country WEZL-FM 103.5
820 Calls of Frederick MD when they were Q-something?
830 Were WETR ('96) and WXII ('99) the same North Carolina station?
970 Home of WINF ? ('News radio')
1010 Home of (WTGC?) Lewistown ? They never make such calls easy .....
1070 'The Beach', 50's oldies, in 1998
1160 'WKDN Morkenson', it sounded like
1190 'WSNL Friedensburg', it sounded like
1290 Logbook says 'that WECW thing again'. Just calls. 9:45PM.
1330 'WEEO', call, at 4:15PM
And what sounded like 'WADJ Coopersville'
1530 Calls like WRTP ; religion ; mentioned 'The Triangle' twice
X-Band : On what frequency was WRNO, pls?

I apologize for the tardiness in catching up and getting with the 21st Century. It's been a while since I've set a schedule for spinning loop. This forum has been quite the vitamin drink. And the wife is urging me to build that shed out back to stow all this 'radio shhhhh....sttuff' anyway.

640 Toronto was once CHOG; I think that was the call during the top 40 days.

I know that WRNO used 15420 in the daytime in the 90s. Cannot recall the other frequencies used.

Here is a listing of every Broadcasting Yearbook ever published.

You can look in several of the 90's issues, and there are call letter listings, full stations by city and state, and by frequency listings (see the index) for all of them.

The issues are searchable, and you can define the decades or years you want to search.

820 was either WQSI or WXTR.

Quote----830 Were WETR ('96) and WXII ('99) the same North Carolina station?

Yes and no. IIRC, WETR was on the "old" 830 signal in that area. Licensed to Eden NC, I think. The signal STANK. I could never believe that it was 50kW.
As the station became WXII, they built the "new" 830 signal licensed to Kernersville NC. It ran 50kW day and 10kW at night with four or five towers, and it produced a respectable signal from the new facility.

Certainly, WXII grew out of what was WETR etc, but the station's transmitter move changed the character of the station tremendously.

1070 is likely WNCT Greenville, NC. According to the Broadcasting Yearbook '99, their format was "Breeze Mix".
1530 WAS WRTP, Chapel Hill, NC. Now WLLQ.
