Iron Maiden Number of the Beast Q102 radio promo

The shirt itself is genuine from 1982.
This is what we know about the rest:
A seller in California was selling a handful of these shirts, claiming they were from the vaults of Q102 radio station.
Either he was telling the truth, or he collected a number of mint Hanes label NOTB shirts first, then added the Q102 to the back print himself.
Q102 is a complete unknown in the Maiden history. Strange choice to add it to a shirt if the intention was to invite big dollars.

UPDATE Dec 2017:
Research has led to discovering the only Q102 station with the exact font used on the shirt hailed from Texas. Up until the early 90's the station specialised in hard/heavy rock. Members of the station Facebook page suggest the shirt may have been used as giveaways during fundraising events known as 'blood drives.'
Merch items from other acts from the period.
