Radio was virtually non-existent in Ecuador in 1930. As far as it could be determined, there were only six radio receivers in the entire country. So Clarence Jones arranged for Reed & Reed to import and distribute radios. He also sold radios personally through his Quito Radio Agency.

But HCJB was not the first to broadcast via radio in Ecuador. In 1925, Carlos Cordovéz, an electrical engineer and inventor, made the very first experimental radio broadcast in Ecuador. From his amateur station “ el Prado” in Riobamba, Cordovéz made a two-hour broadcast each Thursday night from 1929 until 1939
