By day, WSDS is powered at 750 watts. But in unusual move, it increases its power to 3,800 watts at night. To protect other stations on 1480 AM from interference, it uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array. The transmitter is on West Clark Road at Laforge Road in Superior Charter Township, Michigan.
