When I talked with the owner of WDHP a couple of years ago, he was surprised to have been heard in the Florida panhandle. He told me he was running 4kw at night, 10kw daytime. The transmitter was rated to 12kw, he said. This was 2003, IIRC. No telling now what they're doing, but I wouldn't imagine it's changed all that much.

When the first went on, I don't think they powered down from 10kw. Often quite listenable on a car radio in Providence. I do check them frequently here, and nada. RVC-530 is almost always entertainment level for comparison. I'd wager only a kilowatt, as licensed.
