[IRCA] Power Levels

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

Hi everyone,

One question I have always wondered, why are there such odd low powers
for stations today. Paul mentioned that KATQ-1070 got 49.5 watts for
night operation. Ok, why not a round fiqure of 50 watts? What difference
does 1/2 watt make? Why not round the powers off to the nearest 10 at
least. Any idea? 
Also isn't the rule of thumb, you have to stay withing 10% of your
operating power at all times? At least I think that was true 40 years
ago. 
Thanks.

73,

Patrick
