WLNA (1420 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Peekskill, New York, and serving the Hudson Valley. The station is owned by Pamal Broadcasting and calls itself "The Beacon." It simulcasts a conservative talk radio format with sister stations WBNR 1260 AM in Beacon and WGHQ 920 AM in Kingston. The studios are on New York State Route 52 in Beacon.
WLNA is powered at 5,000 watts by day and 1,000 watts at night. To protect other stations on 1420 AM from interference, it uses a directional antenna with a five-tower array. The transmitter is just north of Peekskill in the Town of Cortlandt, New York. (The day and night patterns use two different arrays of three towers, with only one tower shared by both arrays.)[2] Programming is also heard on one-watt FM translator W232DQ at 94.3 MHz.[3]
