Some years ago this site was much larger. It contained short-wave broadcasting transmitters and antennas and a 500 kilowatt medium-wave transmitter broadcasting on AM 800 kHz. The medium wave antenna consisted of a tall central tower fed from the transmitter, and four parasitic towers to shape the radiation pattern.
Currently all short-wave equipment has been removed, as has the 500 KW transmitter. In its place is a 100 KW transmitter on AM 800 kHz, and four towers, fed in various phases to provide a directional pattern for broadcasts to Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, Brazil and the Caribbean In six languages every day from 5:30PM to 8:30AM.
