*** When the flea-power PSSA's were first introduced, it was stated then that stations would have to make their own decisions about whether their equipment could support those powers, and cost-benefit whether it made sense to upgradr. Many opted to do as Craig has suggested. Others opted to purchase separate low power transmitters and swicth over. Still others decided the powers didn't cover enough area to be worth it at all and didn't use the PSSA. I'd also have to wonder what running a higher-powered transmitter at low power nights over time does to tube life -- or transmitter life.
