Felix Bonnet

Enfocado desde joven hacia la radiodifusión, Bonnet, mientras estudiaba ingeniería eléctrica, logra instalar su primera radioemisora, WOYE-FM, en su apartamento y

hospedaje estudiantil universitario en el 1976. Al concluir estudios, re-localiza la antena y transmisor en uno los picos más altos de PR, Monte del Estado, permitiendo aumentar la potencia y cobertura al 60% de la isla que sumando a la programación musical y selección de talentos jóvenes tales como El Ganster, Funky Joe, Billy Fourquet, Frankie Jay, Red Shadow y muchos otros colocó la emisora entre las primeras 10 de PR y número uno en audiencia en prácticamente la mitad oeste de PR adoptando el nombre comercial “Cosmos 94”.

Por mas de 15 años mantuvo una excelencia técnica gracias a noveles equipos de transmisión que con pericia instalaba y calibraba muchos, todavía en prueba ganando el respeto de la industria por la fidelidad y excelencia sonora de la señal.

Fue pionero en automatizar la programación usando softwares a prueba (beta).

Contribuyó como consultor y facilitó la emisora como laboratorio para que compañías pusieran a prueba sus proyectos en diseño.

La optimización de la antena FM de transmisión, instalación de estaciones “booster FMs” y uso de música digital y procesadores de sonido fueron logros de Bonnet en los años 80.

Sumado a varios empresarios, fue codueño de otras emisoras que fueron agrupadas en cadenas radiales tales como Z-93, Estereotempo, y Cosmos 94. Como consultor y colaborador, contribuyó con LA X, y lanzó HOT-102, y Reggeaton 94.

Hoy, ya semi-retirado, pero todavía activo en la Junta de Directores de las emisoras del gobierno de PR, WIPR, WIPM, WIPR-AM y FM, y consultor para la cadena de noticias Radio Isla y ;a Asociación de Radiodifusores de PR.

En enero del 21 la IEEE lo destaca como LIFE SENOR MEMBER.
