Within just a few days prior to the construction permit's deadline date to start broadcasting, WHJM "Radio Maria" first came on the air on June 15, 2006. Its transmitting antenna and tower was abruptly struck by a spectacular display of lightning only after two hours on the air during its inaugural sign-on. However, the brief airtime before the lightning strike was enough to fulfill the FCC deadline. After necessary repairs were made, WHJM returned to the air August 11, 2006. Its current operating power is 1,000 watts ERP. WHJM's current signal fades-out north of Lima at Beaverdam where WJTA's FM translator (W204CU) in Findlay fades in, followed by CIMX in Windsor, Ontario which begins to fade-in north towards Bowling Green and Toledo. Its signal also fades out to the south near Tipp City where listeners can switch to 1600 AM (WULM) in Springfield or 103.3 FM (WULM's translator W277AO) in Enon.
