There was an article about WATX 1220 online behind a paywall in the New Haven Register and Connecticut Post. It talked about Pam Landry and Brian Smith. It says they're ready to put 102.1 FM on the air as soon as the FCC gives them the approval. It also said the station is run by the owner of Toyota of Wallingford.

WATX 1220 AM Hamden formally WQUN. Brian Smith

I wonder if WAQY will complain about the co-channel interference from this translator. Rock 102 has a strong signal and a lot of listeners in southern CT.
Full-power stations can only file complaints about translator interference within their own 45 dBu contour, and WAQY's contour doesn't quite reach New Haven.
Even for Saga, a complaint against this translator would be a stretch.
I seriously doubt that there are "a lot of listeners" to WAQY in Southern Connecticut, anyway. WAQY's signal drops off rapidly as you go down I-91 from Meriden into Wallingford, and classic rock fans in that area have much stronger signals in the form of WDRC-FM and WPLR serving them. WAQY shows up in the Hartford numbers every month, but I suspect that nearly all of those listeners are much closer to Hartford than to New Haven.
