WJTA 88.9 FM Glandorf/Leipsic doing test transmissions

[Limp73]

Was up in Carey (east of Findlay),Ohio at the OLC Shrine and was in the parking lot looking to see if WNOC "Annunciation Radio" was on the air yet doing any kind of on-air test transmission. While playing with the FM dial I found that I was in the fringe area of another new Catholic station coming out of Putnam County. WJTA "Holy Family Radio" licensed to Glandorf and transmitting from a rural location near Leipsic. A legal ID was aired after every song by what I venture to guess are family members of the owners including children.

Test transmission lasted until just a couple minutes after 1pm Friday afternoon (Jul 2) when an announcemnt was made that it was leaving the air to make transmitter adjustments. Kept it on 88.9 through Lima on I-75 when the signal faded south of Cridersville until it started picking up a little bit of bleed-over from 88.7 (WHJM's) transmitter in Botkins.

.....joking again I presume? The local muslim community in (let's say Toledo for example) at any rate would have to buy a station that is the lowest ranked in the Toledo arbs.
