Finding Aid
Scope and Content
The WXJM Collection is a set of cassette tapes of early shows (1989-1992) from the student radio station WXJM. Some of these shows were before an increase in wattage to 390 and the 20 meter antenna was applied for. While radios could receive the early shows, it was unlikely to be received off campus. The collection was donated to the Music Library at JMU in 2023.
