Patrick,

NO! Only 50 kW*. Two Continental 317Fs (I believe), alternated daily or
weekly. I would suspect weekly, unless one busts.

The Communications Act of 1934 prohibited AM BCB stations from operating
with more than 50 kW power output.

There was a new Communications Act, and I thought it changed that.

If not, Martí-1180 cannot operate at 100 kW.

If so, FCC cannot prohibit IBB from operating in excess of 50 kW on the
BCB.

But anecdotal (hear/say) sez Martí-1180 operates at 50 kW by choice.

*ONLY 50 kW? Well, IBB does operate 600 kW and 1,000 kW on the AM BCB
overseas.
