Quacks

[edit]

There used to be a mention of teh fact that the call-letters of the station were originally pronounced "quacks" -- an allusion to the University of Oregon's mascot, the fighting duck. At some point this got changed to the current pronunciation of "K-WAX" (kay - wax); not sure when, but it was already entranched by the mid 1980s.

Reference to this seems to have vanished from the article, however. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.253 (talk) 00:08, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
