The station broadcasts in the Daytona Beach area as a LPFM, covering about a 5- to 7-mile radius from the transmitter site, with a coverage of roughly 120,000 people depending on time of year not including online streaming.
A subsequent broadcasting club charted with the Student Activities department dissolved in 1988 without establishing a student-run radio station.
The fliers were influenced by the DIY ethic of punk rock, surrealism, 1950s' clip art, science fiction, and "golden age" of radio.
A flier typically consisted of cut-and-pasted and otherwise altered photographs from magazines, and their distinct style and provocative nature made them stand out from other notices on campus.
In addition to being a passionate advocate for dorm residents, Gumbrecht used this platform to further the argument for the station, and to find allies within the Student Government Association.
However, the growing popularity of the movement among students, and the dedication of members eventually overcame the aversion, and by 1992, "Campus Radio" became a campaign issue in the SGA presidential race.
Eventually, the station moved operations to a closet in the McKay Hall dormitory with a small mixing board and two CD players.
With upgraded facilities, and by this time a full-fledged division of the SGA, WERU was initially broadcasting on 104.7 MHz through radiating cable FM on campus.
Shortly after application, "Nacho" left ERAU to be soon followed by Chairman Greg Huston, who continued to pursue the station's LPFM license.
[citation needed] By the Fall 2004 semester Division Chairpersons Jesse Lesperance and David Yarwood had successfully completed the LPFM construction permit application.
6 fiber optic lines were run to form the internal network (WIKDNET) so that FTP and streaming services could be improved.
In switching to 102.5 MHz WIKD also waived the large amounts of interference that were being received on 99.1 from a larger power FM station in Jacksonville, Florida.
