Radio Station HCJB’s New Home

The city of Quito soon grew around HCJB’s original Quinta Corston property. Co-directors Clarence Jones and Reuben Larson realized that the station needed to be moved outside of the city limits to comply with the Ecuadorian broadcasting laws that Clarence had helped write.

HCJB bought property north of the city in Iñaquito in 1938 and soon moved the entire station there. The first thing to be built was the transmitter building.
