QSL: WHOY Radio Hoy 1210

1210 kHz has become an interesting frequency now that powerhouse Absolute Radio has vacated the frequency. WPHT in Philadelphia and “La Cariñosa” in Colombia are the most common stations on 1210 kHz at my listening post, but other stations can also be received.

One of the less common stations is WHOY Radio Hoy in Puerto Rico, which was heard several times in March before signing off at 02.00 UTC. As can be seen in the logo depicted above, Radio Hoy boasts with a transmitting power of 5 kilowatts. The station is located in the town of Salinas on the southern coast of Puerto Rico.

Radio Hoy is an independent station not belonging to any of the national radio chains in Puerto Rico. The station is owned by the Colón Radio Corporation whose owner Martín Colón was kind enough to listen to and to confirm my recording of the station.
