WQXQ History
Thanks to Marc Tyll for this history of WQXQ. 
The WQXQ call letters moved from AM 1380 (which had become WDAT-AM 1380, now WELE-AM 1380) to FM 101.9 with the station becoming “Q 102”. The new "Q 102" - as a stereo rock station - was an instant success, but only lasted a few years when it was decided top 40 would work much better, attracting a wider audience on the new "Q 102". This meant WQXQ would compete head-to-head against its sister station WMFJ-AM 1450, becoming Daytona’s first and only Top 40 station on FM. Originally the new top 40 "Q 102" was automated, but soon went local/live with its own separate staff of top 40 jocks. The live on-air studio was constructed in the back of the  WMFJ building, directly across the hallway from WMFJ-AM. 
The new "Q 102" was an instant hit and remained a highly top rated radio station for many years. The new "Q 102" quickly earned the unofficial title “Daytona’s PARTY station”. The “[Q]” - as it was sometimes called - was always sponsoring popular bands, bringing them to the famous Daytona Beach band-shell for live concerts, sponsoring spring break events, and creating countless successful promotions and contests. By the time 1980 arrived, Robert Weeks decided to sell all his radio holdings, including WQXQ-FM, but the company retained WMFJ-AM. Weeks built a new studio and office building on Beach Street, near the Daytona Beach marina, and not far from the WROD-AM 1340 tower site, selling the old Root Street building along with WQXQ-FM to Litchfield,  Michigan based Patten Communications. The price in 1980 was $1.5 million. Upon completion of the sale to Patten, Samuels, who had pioneered the FM Stereo Rock concept for Daytona in the early 1970s, left to form Ronette Communications with his business partner Carl Como-Tutera. Ronette later purchased WIYD-FM 99.9 Palatka, transforming that station into Daytona’s Top 40 All Hit Music 100,000 watt “Y 100”  WNFY-FM 99.9, known as “The Visible FM.”  New WQXQ owner Patten Communications hired “Rock ‘N’ Roll Roots” radio program host Jack Alex as Q102’s new general manager. Under Alex’s managerial guidance and direction, aware of the forthcoming direct competition from the new "Y 100", plans were underway to transform the “Q” into a combination Daytona Beach AND Orlando radio station. Orlando was a much bigger market and only had one FM top 40 station, " BJ 105", WBJW-FM 105.1. In anticipation of a pending power increase and tower move, the call letters were changed to (WDOQ Daytona Beach- Orlando, " Q 102") WDOQ-FM 101.9.
