Horizonte FM
I had these Horizonte FM stickers filed under Uruguay but now I'm thinking that they might be from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Anybody know for sure? There also appears to be an (unrelated?) Horizonte FM in Chile.

WBBM
WBBM "B96" is a CHR station in Chicago, Illinois. It's hard to see, but the rainbow sticker at the top says "Soft Rock" from an earlier, 1970s-era Adult Contemporary format.
I'm not 100% sure that this B-96 t-shirt is actually from WBBM. If you know, send me an email at radiodecals@gmail.com.

KQWB AM & FM
1550 AM KQWB has been on the air in Fargo, North Dakota since 1965. They were a Top-40 station in the 1970s and later aired Adult Standards and Sports formats. They moved up the dial to 1660 AM in 2000. Their logo looks awfully familiar to a station that many might have listened to after daytimer KQWB went off the air each day.
Sister station KQWB "Q98 FM" went on the air in 1968 and had been a Rock station for nearly its entire existence. In 2013 KQWB moved to 105.1 FM while 98.7 FM became CHR outlet KLTA "Big 98.7"

KLCI
A t-shirt from KLCI "Rock 97" which existed at 96.9 FM in Boise, Idaho from 1987 to 1997 (and apparently before that at 103 FM according to this aircheck.) The 96.9 frequency is currently home to Classic Rock station KKGL "96.9 The Eagle."

KINK
KINK FM began broadcasting to Portland, Oregon on Christmas Day, 1968. The heritage Adult Album Alternative station has always maintained a spirit of independence and a focus on musical discovery as evidenced by their longtime "True To The Music" slogan.

KSUB
KSUB is run by the students, faculty and alumni of Seattle University in Seattle, Washington. This May, 2014 article says that the station has been granted a low-power FM license but it seems that they are still internet-only at this point as there is no mention of a frequency on the KSUB website.
UPDATE: The YouTube description of this KSUB video mentions that they broadcast at 89.1 FM.

Istanbul FM / Radyo 34
Istanbul FM is a national broadcaster established in 1995 based in Turkey's largest city. Radyo 34 must be a related station given the similar logo but, honestly, I'm too lazy to figure out their connection.

102.7 FM in Cairns, Australia carries the official call sign of 4CCA although they were known on-air as "4CA FM" when these stickers came out. The station is now Rock-formatted "Zinc 102.7"
