WHPY (1590 kHz) is an AM radio station in Clayton, North Carolina, serving the Raleigh-Durham area. It calls itself "Fellowship Christian Radio" and is owned by the Fellowship Baptist Church. It airs mostly Christian radio programming and is affiliated with the Fundamental Broadcasting Network.

By day, WHPY is powered at 5,000 watts. But to avoid interference to other stations that broadcast on 1590 AM, the station greatly reduces power at night to 25 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a two-tower array at all times.[3]
