Station 9YC/9CXQ after the move to the two-story building behind Mechanical Hall. (circa 1923 or 1924) Note the AWA banner on the wall.

Dr. Fred Friel, a member of the second UK club in the early 1930s, said Joseph Anderson, a UK student and WWI Signal Corps veteran acted as trustee for 9CXQ. Anderson became a well-known, local amateur operator. He lived on the present-day site of Fasig-Tipton Company and died suddenly in 1943. Other than government licensing information no record of 9CXQ survives. The station's license expired in 1924.
