Well, maybe he did mean 50 KW, but then again there are (were) stations like 
good ole' XERF, Del Rio, Texas!  That station (and a bunch of others from 
south of the border, ran a heck of a lot more than 50 KW.

I remember also that several other stations in the NW ran 50 KW, like KEX in 
Portland, and maybe another Portland stations (KWJJ ?).  Albuquerque had 
KOB, which shared 770 khz with only one other station in NYC--that's changed 
now.  KGO in S.F. was 50 KW also I think.  There used to be lots of them.
