WQSR (Quality Stereo Radio from its beautiful music stereo days) is definately one for the heritage call letter list. Those call letters are now assigned to Clear Channel owned WQSR-FM 102.7 Baltimore, Maryland.

Another set of hetitage call letters are WTMC which were in Ocala since 1939, originally on AM 1500 and later AM 1290. The original WTMC ocala became WCFI (formerly assigned to WJHM 101.9 Daytona Beach) in 1999. WTMC is now assigned to the former WAMS-AM 1380 Wilmington, Deleware and programs travel information and road conditions for the Delaware Department of Transporation.

There are no three-letter call letter combinations assigned to any Florida stations. However, you did forget to mention WOR New York, WSM Nashville and KFI Los Angeles as part of your above example.

Also don't forget WJR and WWJ in Detroit, KYW in Philly and WHK in Cleveland.
