This means that when WQEL contests are played that require a specific caller to telephone the radio station (such as “Caller number 9 when you hear the sound effect”), listeners to the on-line audio stream may be at a disadvantage in participating over those listeners who hear the contests on-air. A copy of these rules is available during business hours at the WQEL studios 403 East Rensselaer Street, Bucyrus, Ohio
