CIRCLE DENOTATION*
red denotes WIXQ's 3-mile protected broadcast radius
blue denotes WIXQ's 20-mile effective broadcast radius
brown denotes a broadcast radius in which listeners may tune-in to WIXQ when atmospheric conditions are favorable, and if listeners properly adjust one's antennas.**
*Please note that the radii pictured here are informal generalizations about the nature of WIXQ's signal, and are presented for whimsical graphical detail only. WIXQ's actual signal strength at any given distance from its broadcasting antenna depends on variables such as terrain, topography, atmospheric, conditions, the signals of other radio stations, the specifications of a listener's radio and antenna, and the quality of the tracking devices the CIA, FBI, NATO, and the UN may have planted under your skin.**The furthest confirmed FM listeners of WIXQ are from Reading, P.A., Coatesville, P.A., and Bel Air, M.D.. If you have heard WIXQ's FM signal in other far-away places, let us know by writing to webmaster917@wixq.com!The following information pertains to WIXQ's technical broadcasting specifications.
