 In 1984 the station entered an agreement with the University of Missouri to move its transmitter from Paquin Tower to a 200 foot tower on land owned by the University on Route Z, several miles north of downtown Columbia.Its power was reduced from 40kW ERP to its present 36kW ERP.This move came after years of unsuccessful attempts by the University to get the FCC to either revoke or significantly modify KOPN's license to broadcast with 40kW ERP at the Paquin Tower location.
