2QN is a radio station based in Deniliquin, New South Wales, Australia. It broadcasts on the medium wave radio band, at a frequency of 1521 kHz.
2QN combines a 'Hits & Memories' music format with talk radio and news.
The station's former breakfast announcer, Paul "Dixy" Dix, was the longest serving breakfast announcer in Australia at the one station. He had over 50 years experience in radio and had been in Deniliquin since 1961. Paul died in 2013. He is survived by his wife, Margaret Dix who is still alive as of March 2024 and living in Deniliquin.
The studios were destroyed by fire in 1939.
In the mid-1940s the station was under threat of being relocated to Wangaratta, which caused protests in Deniliquin. In 1952, the station increased its operating power from 200W to 2000W, along with a change in frequency to 1520 kHz.
