Martin,

Just checked the FCC pattern for KWKU 1220 and see that all
the power is going Northwest.  Nothing going your way Martin.
With only 250 watts, I can understand why you have not heard
KWKU in Mission Viejo.    

I have heard KHTS 1220 in Canyon Country.  KHTS is also
Northwest in their pattern.  Good luck Martin in hearing your
most wanted stations.
