By day, WQXM broadcasts at 10,000 watts, using a directional antenna. But to reduce interference to other stations on 1460 AM, WQXM greatly reduces power at night to 155 watts, switching to a non-directional antenna. The transmitter is on North Maple Avenue near Lyle Parkway in Bartow, Florida.[2] Programming is also heard on FM translator W260DA at 99.9 MHz.
