WHXR (106.3 FM; "Rock 106.3") is an American mainstream rock radio station licensed to serve Scarborough, Maine, with studios in Portland. Established in 1974, the station is owned by Binnie Media.
WHXR signed on the air in 1974 as top 40 station WJBQ-FM (no relation to the current WJBQ in Portland); in 1981, the station swapped formats and call signs with 97.9 FM, becoming classical music station WDCS. It became WPKM in 1988, and in 1998 joined the WBACH network as WBQW. On October 2, 2008, the station switched call signs and programming with 104.7 (which operated with the WBACH classical music programming as WBQW until 2012, when it became top 40 station WHTP).
On April 13, 2004, WHXQ originally began broadcasting on 104.7 as a classic rock station branded as "The Bone," shifting to active rock in 2006 and moving to 106.3 on October 2, 2008. Prior to April 9, 2010, WHXQ was simulcast on WHXR (106.7 FM); on August 3, 2010, WHXQ took the WHXR call letters abandoned by 106.7, which had become WXTP.
[Verse 1:]
In one minute all is changed
You open letter from Death itself
And you choose the way from this hell
To another secret free realm
[Verse 2:]
When night conquer all the land
And voice of Death once again
Still loudly speak in tired brain
You take rope and say – farewell
[Chorus:]
The story is complete when you read
Letters from the dark
The ancient mystic scripts known as
Letters from the dark
The creed grows within when you read
Letters from the dark
[Verse 3:]
Now lonely body toss in wind
On the shoulder of a mighty tree
And now question awaits him
