WAQE's FM station is on 97.7, so the above 2 look like they're different
stations.

Have tried 1090 for the above stations and cannot hear them.  Here are
some tips:

Jim, there are 1-800 directories on the Internet.  I don't have a URL
handy, but go to Yahoo and do a search on "1-800 Directory" or variations
on the phrase.  Same thing with your 3rd UNID above (do a search on
"Attorney General Winston").  Also, go to http://www.mapquest.com/ to
find where Lakeport, Wisconsin is located on the map.  Hope this all
helps.

This is indeed strange - they have long been an outstanding QSLer.
