WINB Shortwave Transmission Station, Pennsylvania

WINB is a Christian shortwave radio station in Red Lion, Pennsylvania, with a 50,000-watt Continental Electronics transmitter. It is what they call a brokered shortwave broadcasting station, meaning it broadcasts content generated by others for a fee, rather than its own or other single source programming. This is a common way for shortwave broadcasters not owned by wealthy evangelical or missionary organizations to stay in business. WINB, also associated over the years with WGCB, WLYH, and WBPH, started broadcasting in 1962, and claims to be the oldest private international shortwave station in the USA. There are less than a dozen large shortwave radio stations broadcasting internationally from the continental USA. Most of them are transmitting Christian programming to some of the estimated 250 million people in remote parts of the world that still listen to shortwave radios.
