Engineering data

WVOJ broadcasts with 10,000 watts by day, but because AM 1570 is a clear channel frequency, WVOJ must reduce its power at night to 30 watts to avoid interfering with other radio stations. 1570 AM is a Mexican clear-channel frequency, on which XERF-AM in Ciudad Acuña is the dominant Class A station.

F.M. translator

Programming is also heard over FM translator W222CL on 92.3 MHz.

Norsan Consulting has an application with the Federal Communications Commission to move the AM station's city of license to Orange Park, Florida, increase its daytime to 50,000 watts and its nighttime power to 10,000 watts, using a directional antenna. [2] The application is for a Class B license; it is currently Class D.
