History
KWAX started out in the late 1950s as a student managed and operated FM station, with studios and transmitter on the top floor of Villard Hall. The initial transmitter was a whopping 10 watts, and hours of operation were somewhat irregular. In 1966, a local FM station gave the university their old 250 watt transmitter when they upgraded.
