Last time I saw the 99.3 translator it had a 100 watt PA, 3 way splitter with each output driving a 5 element Scala yagi. The real ERP in each direction is about 200 watts. No one cares about this or the so called 10 watt 92.7. The user group found a 200 watt PA there not long ago -- had it removed, but given the signal I would guess it is back. The owners of these translators ARE paid to run them -- again the FCC simply has no resources to monitor this stuff or apparently does not care. They are more interested in "potty mouth" issues.
