WQAH-FM (105.7 FM, "Pure Country") is a country music and bluegrass formatted radio station licensed to Addison, Alabama, that serves Decatur, Alabama, and the western portion of the Huntsville, Alabama, market.[2]
The station has held the current WQAH-FM call letters as assigned by the Federal Communications Commission since September 7, 2001.[3] Before this it was known by the WYAM-FM call sign from October 25, 1996 to August 31, 2001.
