Re: I wonder...
Actually I think it is 4 watts Effective Isotropic Radiated Power. This means that you can have a kilowatt transmitter as long as you attenuate the hell out of the signal.
The highest power for AM radio stations is 50,000 watts. The highest power allowed for a new FM radio tower is 100,000 watts. It is usually less because the FCC determines the power output for it. There are some FM stations that are higher than 100kW because the FCC limited the power after the station went on the air. If they move the transmitter then they have to go back to 100kW or less depending on how far they move it.
