Les,

I can't tell you much more than what I've already mentioned. 

1620, nostalgia format, use the call letters WKQV, much of the material
they play probably comes from KQV Pittsburgh, as described in Terry
Krueger's Florida Low Power Radio Stations web site: 
http://home.earthlink.net/~tocobagadx/flortis.html

They are likely nearby from the strong signal I get, but not so close as
their claim of 100mW would suggest.  Today they announced that Doc
Brown was upping their output using nuclear power and I presume a flux
capacitor, to one point twenty-one jigawatts.  This will no doubt
also help with their format, going back to get the good old
tunes.

They were doing live call-in requests, current weather conditions,
playing retro ads, and clever humor with Tonto as you heard.  They
even have a million dollar bill giveaway contest complete with disclaimer
as to the authenticity of the bill.  

One DJ was on from at least 3:30pm when I first heard them, a second came
on at 7pm.  Still going strong at 9:00 pm ET, Mar 1 2006.

If there were more legit stations like this, maybe AM wouldn't be
suffering drooping listenership.

I emailed them a fan oriented reception report, hence the on-air
mention.  Really looking forward to getting that custom made QSL
card and lock of Tonto's hair! :-D
