By day, WIXC transmits 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations. Because 1060 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A KYW Philadelphia and XECPAE Mexico City, WIXC must reduce power to 5,000 watts at night to avoid interference. During critical hours, the power is 17,000 watts. A directional antenna is used at all times. The transmitter is on West Main Street in the Sweetwater Downs neighborhood in Mims.[1]
