URL please?
This station was one of my black holes.  I could assume that one became the
ther, but had too much of a time gap to feel comfortable with an
ssumption.

 Checking 1580 kHz in the White's Radio Log editions at David Gleason's
 awesome website, Spring 1953 shows WAVA in Ava, Fall 1953 shows WAVA in Du
 Quoin, and Winter 1954 shows WDQN in Du Quoin.  So maybe just a city of
 license change, soon followed by a call change?

 I took out my Rand McNally to find Mt. Carmel's location. Extreme southern
 Illinois always was a exciting catch for me from my Iowa days. Most notably
 a station in a little town about 20 miles NW of Carbondale. The town was Ava
 Illinois and the calls were WAVA. Their letter of verification had 'The
 Voice of Little Egypt" and a mid-eastern dancing girl covering the top
 portion. Followed by a quick explanation of why that immediate area was
 called Little Egypt. I see by Radio Locator that station no longer exists.
 They were on 1580 kHz. However there is a station in Du Quoin, less than 20
 miles away. How long has WAVA been off the air and did Du Quoin inherit the
 frequency?

 Just roiling my nostalgia, besides being just plain curious.
