I proposed 100 kW days, which is legal under "Rio" rules for Class As, 
plus whatever night power which would give them at least 362.10 mV/m/kW 
at 1 km.

Lessee ... that would be about 60 kW nights.

However, I also pointed out that 195 degrees was only nine measly tower 
sections taller than that atrocity which was proposed.

Which would you accept:

1) 100/60 kW ND-U into 155 degrees, with the likelihood of bad fading 
during critical hours, plus an unknown effect on the Class I-B in Canada, 
plus a few micropower Class Bs in the U.S., and being grandfathered at 
that level, or

2) the present, and "historical" power, 50 kW ND-U, into 195 degrees?

And the answer is ...

... behind Door Two!
