After more than a year of securing the site, the WRBN-LP Clayton radio station signed on Friday, February 14, 2025, and work continued the following Saturday.

These photos show some of the equipment used, and the transmitter site.

 

The equipment was ultimately transferred to an existing rack in the building, but this shows the compact nature of the installation.
