By 1923 things were changing for radio at UK, and radio in general. The club's driving forces, Baulch, Brailsford, Cammack, Gates, Wilkins, and Thompson, were graduating or had dropped out. Station 9YC moved from Pence Hall to a small, two-story building behind Mechanical Hall, on the site of the present-day ASTeCC building.
Soon after, the 1923 Radiotelephony Conference, which established the Broadcast radio service, restricted amateur operations, and revoked the licenses of nearly all Technical or Training School stations, like 9YC, was held. The station was immediately relicensed as 9CXQ, an amateur station.
