FM Frequency of The Week: 102.3
- Thread starter crainbebo
- Start date
For at least 15 years now (probably longer, my memory fails me on this one ;D), nothing but dead air.
From 1978 through (most of) the '80s, KQCA Canton, MO. The only station actually located in our small, rural county, complete with studio only marginally larger than an outhouse, located on a dead-end road (very American Graffiti-esque :
).
Started out playing "progressive" rock, went Top 40 by the time I was in high school, started getting its as* kicked by competitor station in Quincy and switched to 50's & 60's oldies by the late 80's. Here's where my memory starts to fade. I believe the franchise was bought out, retooled to hard rock, rechristened KRRR, and moved to 100.9, all sometime in the early '90s. For somewhat over a decade now, it's been Top 40 KRRY 100.9, with the branding "Canton, Quincy, Hannibal", and studios in Quincy. This is the last remnants of our beloved "KQ-102" of a quarter century ago :-\
We'd be out partying, and drive up there to BS with the DJs and request songs, which they would usually play. Life was simpler then, in more ways than 1.....
If anybody who reads this has more info on KQ-102, please share. Feel free to dispute me on the facts I listed, that's the way I remember it ;D

From Plano, TX:
Antenna pointed NW: KWFS Wichita Falls, TX
Antenna pointed SE: KLJT Jacksonville, TX
IBOC hash from KDGE jams the frequency when the antenna is pointed other directions.

From just south of Indianapolis, Martinsville,IN is a semi-local at 29 miles. With both yagi's aimed south & Martinsville phased out, Louisville,KY is a regular at 80 miles. Anything else requires some enhanced ground wave. I do remember one of my early skip loggings was on 102.3...that was KLOV, Loveland, CO when I lived in Cincinnati around 1970.
Ah yes, good old "KQ102". I remember them from my brief tenure at KGRC in 1985-86. Did seem like a shoestring operation (but it was live at least 18/7). WQCY did beat the crap out of them, and apparently took some of KQs talent.
From SW Ohio we have a semi local KLove affiliate from Wilmington, but I've heard galion, WCBK Martinsville IN and the Spanish speaker out of Auburn IN.

The only station I get on 102.3 is WYCA Crete, which is 1 mile southwest of me in Beecher, IL. When WYCA is off the air due to technical issues, I can usually get WXLC Waukegan, IL.
