Because 50 kW ND are all that Ivo and Aoki ever mention about this from Jeddah. EiBi of course avoids the issue by never specifying powers or azimuths..
Also, I didn`t read the WRTH 2017 entry closely which says that 4 x 250 kW are in Jeddah (along with the 1 x 50), and the 8 x 500 kw are in Riyadh (plus another 4 x 350 at Riyadh). (Is BSKSA ever on anywhere near 17 frequencies at once? Hardly) When this was first reported in November 2015 --- you may want to review http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1547.txt --- one of the first observations was Jeddah registered with 50 kW ND on 11855, so this might be related. But that was only a guess, and in fact it is still registered for some hours in A-17, certainly not in use on that frequency. Both you via Qatar, and me via Enid note a drastic drop in signal strength at the 1758v QSY. Maybe before that it is 250 kW from Jeddah aimed at Yemen, accounting for good signals here off the back (or maybe long path in some circumstances), but does not account for 350 or 500 kW from Riyadh after that being so much weaker even if the azimuth is not so favorable for us.
