It’s 100,000 watts ERP with a 6 bay antenna. The higher gain antenna means the transmitter output power would be much less (about 35 kw), although at still extremely dangerous levels to mess with.

I've actually been trying to figure out where this station was coming from for a few years, thinking it was a pirate radio station setting up camp in the Nevada desert during the 'off season' from Burning Man. Turns out, this
