1936 - An RCA medium-wave transmitter is added. 1937 - The addition of a 1,000-watt transmitter designed and built by HCJB Engineer Victoriano Salvador. 1940 - The station adds a 10,000-watt transmitter designed and built by HCJB Engineer Clarence C. Moore, allowing the station's broadcast signal to reach around the world. 1940 - Clarence Moore invents, and later patents a "Quad" antenna (Not the same as today's cubical quad antennas) and puts it into use at HCJB. 1952 - the station moves its shortwave broadcasting to a new site in Pifo, Ecuador. 1956 - HCJB begins broadcasting with its first high-powered 50,000 watt transmitter designed by HCJB Engineer Herb Jacobson and built by HCJB engineers and staff. 1965 - The station's own hydro-electric plant at Papallacta begins generating electricity to power shortwave broadcasts from Pifo. 1967 - The station purchases three RCA 100,000-watt shortwave transmitters. The units required extensive reworking and entered into service in 1968, 1969 and 1970. 1979 - The construction of a steerable antenna is completed. 1981 - A 500,000-watt shortwave transmitter capable of overcoming any Russian jamming efforts is put into use. The transmitter was designed and built by HCJB Engineers at facilities loaned by Clarence Moore at Crown International in Elkhart, Indiana. 1982 - A second hydro-electric plant at Papallacta to provide power for the station's shortwave broadcasts is added. 1986 - The HCJB World Radio Engineering Center (now called SonSet Solutions) was created at the Crown International facilities under the direction of David Pasechnik. The goal was to design and build HC100 (100,000-watt) shortwave transmitters for HCJB and the ministry's contributors in the "World by 2000" challenge. 1990 - The first HC-100 (100,000-watt) transmitter goes on the air in Quito, Ecuador. Since that time eight more HC-100s were built and put into use by the World Radio Missionary Fellowship, Inc. in Ecuador, Swaziland and Australia. 1992 - A radio station in Bukavu, Zaire is "planted" by HCJB. The station used a portable FM transmitter designed and built by staff at the HCJB Engineering Center. HCJB Global Technology staff members are involved in research, development, training and technical support for AM, FM and shortwave radio stations as well as satellite distribution and satellite-based Internet services. In recent years they developed station automation systems and a fixed-tuned, solar-powered SonSet radio that can be pre-tuned to pick up a specific Christian radio station. HCJB Global staff have
