This is one of those "misplaced" operations that even though it's licenced to Quincy, the transmitter point is far from the city of licence, in fact, this signal in all probability doesn't reach Quincy by at least 30 miles. The transmitter is located around 20 miles southeast of Bowling Green, Missouri. The coverage area also just touches Wentzville, Missouri.
Can somone explain why this is possible?
