Hi Don - I suspect that you're correct on the city of license and call change, as with yours, my loggings were several years apart.  I didn't realize that you were in Omaha for a while; we missed each other there by about two weeks, we moved from Des Moines about the third week in January, 1954! - John

I can't believe that two separate stations existed at the same time within 20 miles of each other....WAVA & WDQN so either WAVA went out of business and WDQN came on the air or they moved their CoL to Du Quoin and changed calls somewhere in that 2-3 year period.  All this fuss is because I found Little Egypt in Southern Illinois quite fascinating (and still do).
