[QUOTE=Electronic M;3051374]One Mega-Watt would be equal to 1000KW twice what even WLW (the most powerful AM station ever) put out during it's prime....

When I lived in Wien, our two AM's had their rigs in Bisamberg. The one on 585 KHz ran 600KW day, 240 KW night, while the one on 1476 KHz ran 600KW fulltime. I understand there's a 2 MW rig on 1522KHz in Saudi Arabia that can be heard around local sunset on the least coast with at least a 2KHz het on the station in Buffalo...

When I was a kid, KCST-39 in San Diego was running 4,250,000 watts visual ERP while several analog UHF's did run the FCC's old max of 5 megawatts visual ERP.

The 1 megawatt FCC max on DTV at UHF is one of the reasons ATSC doesn't work, IMHO.
