WQAQ (98.1 FM) is a student run radio station broadcasting an Alternative format. Licensed to Hamden, Connecticut, USA, the station serves the Connecticut college area. The station is currently owned by Quinnipiac University.[1][2]

[edit] Antenna Controversy
Prior to the Fall 2006 semester, without any notification to the students, WQAQ's broadcast antenna was removed from its location atop the campus student center, forcing the station off-air and putting the station's FCC license in jeopardy.[1]
