Also, for those interested, in the Minneapolis / St. Paul market,
stations are free to choose either a W or K first letter in their call
signs. A number of stations have held both in their histories. Examples:
KDWB > WDGY.  KRSI > WXPT > KZJK.  WLTE  > KMNB. There are a number of
others. It makes life interesting!

WMBH-AM 1560 Joplin, MO 500 Watt non directional daytimer at 720pm central.
Been chasing a sports station under KNZR and KGOW for a week or two but
could never nail it down as there were two possibilities and I couldnt rule
either one out based on location. Finally heard a mention of Joplin in a
radio commercial tonight.

The call sign was originally issued in Chicago in 1926 and moved to
Joplin in 1927, so it's grandfathered. It's an odd broadcasting artifact.

The original call sign for this station was KQYX, but it was changed 
to WMBH in 2001. Doesn't anyone at the FCC ever look at a map?  Why 
would a station in Joplin qualify for a W call???

Hi Paul,

Would you have more details about your antenna setup?
