Theoretically, any Class A may operate 100/50, if such operation is 
granted by the appropriate National authority.

XETRA's Tx is operating at 77 kW days and 50 kW nights.

This is legal under "Rio" as ex-Class I-Bs were changed to allow 100/50 
operation (where as ex-Class I-As were grandfathered at their previous 
power, if operated above 100/50).

Previously, Class I-Bs were limited to 50/50, except for the four which 
operated 10/10.
