QRZ.com does show A KD7QAS in Middleton.

And there is an Echolink system (KD7QAS-R, node 410789).

What may be more interesting, after some Google searches, is a series of references I saw where the KC0TQZ-L system (node 367513) had been linked to the KD7QAS-R system. On http://www.echolink.org/logins.asp now (1839 UTC), I saw this for KC0TQZ-L:

KC0TQZ-L Clay Cntr,KS 145.920 (1) ON 01:27 367513

In the station description, it shows 145.920 along with the QTH in Kansas. This may be the system that's causing the QRM on AO-51, and the other system is just linked to KC0TQZ-L at that time.

73!
