WRSA's transmitter is off Lower Newton Road (Route 38) in the Town of St. Albans. It broadcasts at 1,000 watts by day, but to protect other stations on AM 1420, it reduces power at night to 107 watts. A non-directional antenna is used at all times. WRSA had a construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission to build a 145-watt FM translator station, 100.3 MHz W262DH in St. Albans.
