The U.S. isn't going to force the issue with Mexico
and demand that XERF
operate with its "notified" 250 kW, simply becuase
there is not that much
utility power available in the area, and, anyway, the
250 kW transmitter
doesn't exist anymore.

There is plenty of power. There is just no need.


However, the U.S. DID force the issue on one Mexican Class A, in which an
unreasonably and impossibly high efficiency was notified.

In order to achieve the (formerly) notified efficiency, that station would
require a 1,100 foot tall radiator. ELEVEN-HUNDRED feet! The actual radiator
height is about 800 feet.

The newly notified facility purportedly has an 850 foot radiator, but its
efficiency is still too high to be believed, unless the ground system is
intentionally overbuilt.
