The station's studio is located at RMN Broadcast Center (Canoy Bldg.

[4] DXCC first went on air on July 4, 1952 as a test broadcast, coinciding with the birthday of Henry Canoy's mother.

Its 500-watt transmitter was made from surplus parts from Raon in Quiapo, Manila, with only a telescopic steel pole borrowed from the Bureau of Telecom that served as antenna, which was mounted from the pole to a coconut tree 30 meters away.

The station's first live broadcast included the airing of the "Anejo Rum" from Plaza Divisoria in downtown Cagayan de Oro, for which Canoy billed La Tondena executive Hugo Chan Hong the sum of P500 as payment for the radio coverage.
