I used to live on the outskirts of WDQN's signal. They usually run 6am to 8pm 7 days a week, and they have live local ops as no automation is in the studio.
When leaving the State Fair in DuQuoin one night while they ran local programming, I heard them alot farther then 6.6 Watts would carry. Their transmitter, a Nautel Amphet 1 can only go down to 20Watts as far as I know. Go to www.flickr.com and type in WDQN to see the pictures I took there.
