KBNO is supposed to be reminiscent of "ĦQue Bueno!" This Spanish exclamation would roughly translate to "That's awesome!"

From Craig_adams post above:

"At the time K249AT was rebroadcasting KPDQ-FM but in the last few years this was changed to KBNO White Salmon, WA."

Was this connected to signal degradation of KPDQ-FM after the KAST/KTRO move-in early in 2006?

Jr. Tech: I don't know. I do know KPDQ-FM has lost its presence in Central Oregon. In the 1980's KPDQ-FM fed 4 translators, K244AL Bend, K285DC Maupin, K280BD Prineville & K249AT Redmond. These were all owned by Gospel Echo.
