WQXM
By day, WQXM broadcasts at 10,000 watts, using a directional antenna.

The transmitter is on North Maple Avenue near Lyle Parkway in Bartow, Florida. Programming is also heard on FM translator W260DA at 99.9 MHz.
FM translator
WQXM programming is relayed on an FM translator, which gives listeners for the improved sound of FM stereo.
