Fascinating.

By rule, ND operation at 25 percent of licensed DA power should be OK, 
and that's 12.5 kW which is also above the 10 kW minimum for Class As.

However, I can see that "Rio" added four Class As on 870 in Central and 
South America:

1) 2/2 kW (yet they call this a Class A !?! ),

2) 100/100 kW,

3) 10/10 kW, and

4) 50/50 kW,

so perhaps that's the reason for less than 10 kW nights.

Anyway, it's an auxiliary, although the FCC granted KGO 10 kW ND-U, 50 kW 
ND-LS, for the many months it took to reconstruct that station's array, 
and KGO isn't a Class I-A as is WWL, plus KGO has a domestic co-channel 
Class I-B.
