In 1960, Radio Swan commenced unlicensed transmissions in May as a commercial radio station (CIA Inspector General (1962) pp. 9-10, 15, 27-28, 93; Anonymous CIA operative,1991; Montaner, 1999) operating with a power of 50,000 watts on AM 1160 and on shortwave with a power of 7,500 watts on 6000 kHz. The importance of this island was in its location and proximity to the island of Cuba, because on March 17, 1960, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower had approved covert action to topple the regime of Fidel Castro in Cuba. As early as October 30, 1960, the Castro government sent reconnaissance flights over Swan Island and the Caribbean Coast of Guatemala (CIA 11-3-1960).
