WQBN (1300 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish Variety format. Licensed to Temple Terrace, Florida, United States, it serves the Tampa Bay area. The station is currently owned by Cristian and Norberto Vallejo, through licensee Crisbeto Enterprises Corp. It is the home for Tampa Bay Rays baseball in Spanish. Similar to cases where the night power is down to a handful of Watts, here we have a three mast Day and Critical array and a monopole at Night. This is quite rare.

01FM translator

WQBN programming is simulcast on an FM translator to improve coverage, especially during the hours between sunset and sunrise when the AM station broadcasts with only 16 watts. The translator also provides high fidelity sound, inherent on FM.
