Valley Head's WQRX (870 kHz, 10 kW days, 4.7 kW critical hours) has picked up a translator, although it's nowhere near the actual town of Valley Head. Station W265CE (100.9 MHz, 205 watts directional) is licensed to the non-town of Cedarburg, Alabama and its 60 dBu contour doesn't come close to Valley Head. Instead, it mostly covers rural Cherokee County, including the town of Cedar Bluff on Weiss Lake. It also has significant coverage in Chattooga and Floyd Counties, Georgia, almost reaching Rome. This all falls within WQRX's 2 mV/m contour and is thus "legal".
The last known format of the AM daytimer was Spanish Christian, operating in a noncommercial fashion. It picked up the translator while it was still in the noncommercial FM band, but it moved to the commercial section before going on air. It is not yet known if WQRX has reemerged as a commercial operation, or what format they currently have.
