About WECN
Full-power stations are the main licensed broadcasters in a market. They may run the highest power from the tallest towers and are protected from interference, so they set the core of what you can receive.
At 50 kW effective radiated power, WECN runs more power than 27% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW). Stations on VHF channels are licensed at much lower power than UHF stations to cover the same area, so a low figure does not always mean a weak signal.
Its antenna sits 142 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 4% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 38 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 43 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 175 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,040,000 residents, as far as Yauco, PR (42 miles).
