WQAC (90.9 FM; "The Duck") was a campus radio station located in Alma, Michigan and operated by Alma College. The station primarily played the music of up-and-coming modern rock bands. WQAC also had a large collection of evening student specialty shows. Over its history, these shows covered everything from world music to classic rock to talk shows.
The station signed on March 27, 1993.[1] In 2016, Alma College announced that WQAC would go silent; it would be replaced by "Pirate Media", a digital media service that incorporates photography and video in addition to radio programming.[2] The WQAC license was surrendered on February 12, 2018, and cancelled by the Federal Communications Commission on February 22, 2018.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
