It was essential for Radio Station HCJB to have staff that could maintain and repair the radio transmitters. The lack of finances to purchase commercially built models meant that most all HCJB’s early radio transmitters were built by HCJB staff.

Clarence also opened the Quito Radio Agency to sell and repair radios. Jones had planned on building radios that could be sold to the public at a more attractive price. However HCJB would not actually design and build those inexpensive radios until 1949.
