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.
