When the towers are replaced with the new shorter ones, the licensed power
will be 5600W, but because of Cuban interference, the station will operate
under STA at 11,200W--much as it has remained licensed for 5 kW but has
operated under STA at 10 kW for--what, 20 years now? There will be no change
in the actual day or night groundwave service contours, although the
vertical radiation pattern will change. I'm guessing that the 10-kW
operation has never been licensed because it does not meet some interference
criterion even though there apparently have not been any protests from other
US stations.
