Jim Elliot & Don O’Day on WPGC AM & FM Washington | September 22, 1977
WPGC, an AM/FM combo, was a Top 40 powerhouse licensed to serve Washington DC.
Fast Jimi Roberts, 99.5 WGAY Washington DC | April 16, 1999
My name is Fast Jimi. New Radio Station, New DJ… The WGAY call letters were essentially history except for this first day or two. 99.5 was called “Jammin 99-5” right out of the box, but as you’ll hear, the station is running a contest to ‘name the station’.

Don Geronimo, 95.5 WPGC-FM Washington DC | March 19, 1980
WPGC Morningside. Well, they say its darkest just before the dawn. Or, in this case, the station was hottest just before the end. The station would eventually become an Urban Contemporary station and shed its longtime Top 40/CHR format as the 80s unfolded. Here, in the first quarter of 1980, Don Geronimo proves that this station…
Scott Woodside, 107.3 WRQX Washington DC | October 16, 1986
Often, airchecks arrive here with a slightly incorrect date. The only reason (outside of the music) that this was noticed was Scott Woodside’s comment about the Red Sox making a huge mistake the previous night. As it turns out, the previous night was Game 6 of the 1986 World Series between the New York Mets…
Dave Thompson, 107.3 WRQX Washington | March 22, 1980
Less than a year after changing formats to Top 40 from Album Rock, the station branded as Q107 is upbeat and exciting! Dave Thompson, who had been heard at WXLO 99X in New York City, is running a tight show that’s a lot of fun. Become an Airchexx Supporter! Click below to make a donation!…

Click the link below to donate to Airchexx The apparent continuation of the Marleen Foxx aircheck of “FM 107 WRQX Washington’s Best Rock”, this is the morning show of the day following a big blizzard in the Nation’s capital. Just a few teaser notes are in order. First, the audio quality…
Marleen Foxx, 107.3 WRQX Washington | February 24, 1979
Something quite rare, donated by Big Apple Airchecks. Here is “Rock 107” during WRQX‘s rather short Album Rock format which ended shortly after this aircheck was recorded. Marleen Foxx is heard with her rather seductive voice (in my humble opinion) giving an impassionate plea to commuters to just stay home if they don’t have snow…
The Big Ron O’Brien Files, 95.5 WPGC Washington DC | 1977
We run a family show here… Picking up where we left off some time ago in 2018, the parade of Big Ron O’Brien (Richard Walls) aircheck tapes continues on courtesy of the family of the late Big Ron via Big Apple Airchecks. In this 12+ minute clip, we find our subject at another legendary station (at…
