Actually the tower that broadcasted for KDKA was located in Mexico. So was the original station. There was some problem with getting the OK from the powers to be over the music the station was going to play. So they opened in Mexico just over the boarder. This also enhanced the signal, and the station was heard throughout Texas, and much of the central west. In later years after regulations were lifted, It was one of the first 50,000 Watt stations in the US....
I'm a fan of pirate radio since they often times go well beyond the 50K watt limit
