History

The station was the first one to operate in southern Puerto Rico.[4] It was owned and operated by Julio S. Conesa, an electrical engineer who designed and built the radio station's equipment himself. Its building, still standing on PR-2, was the first radio station building in Puerto Rico to be built specifically for that purpose.[5]
