I listened to XERF, the Mexican border blaster, for Wolfman Jack. I
vaguely remember one of the staff announcers claiming it had a lot more
than 50kw of broadcast power.

It was the only station we listened to at the near-weekly sandbar parties
on the "mighty" Kaw River.


It's still listed as being 250,000 watts. Max allowed in the USA is 50k
watts.
But, depending on the frequency used, 50K may carry much further than a
million watts, especially on "clear" channel frequencies where there are no
other stations anywhere legally transmitting on the same freq.
