I'm with Steve on this one, Nigel. The FCC database shows KQQZ as still licensed to DeSoto, MO, so that's what I'd go with. And yes, they sure sound like they're on 10 KW non-stop. I have a local on 1180 and if I null them out, then tune up to 1190 and hit the USB button on the ol' Kenwood R-5000, I get KQQZ pretty strong. I'm thinking that during the station tour of WOWO in July -- and I assume there WILL be one forthcoming! -- this ought to be mentioned to their engineer(s), who, in turn, might contact the FCC to have some action taken. 73,Rick DauSouth Omaha, Nebraska EN21af

Far as I know, it's not on yet. Don't they spend most of their time on 10,000 watts anyway?

I'm strongly suspecting they were on day power (to get through CFSL is an accomplishment), but I see they do have a CP for somewhat more power at night (and a move to an IL Community of License). Does anyone know if that has happened yet, so I know whether to count it as MO or IL?
