History of the KQAK call sign edit

KQAK was the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) call sign of a now defunct classic rock—and, more memorably, new wave/punk/gothic/ska—radio station, "The Quake," in San Francisco, California. See KSOL-FM under the history section for more information.

105.7 FM history edit

The station signed on the air on September 5, 1986 as KWBX with a classical music format, simulcasting KWAX 91.1 FM Eugene. They changed their call letters to the current KQAK and switched to an oldies format on October 19, 1990.[2][3]
