According to my recent correspondence with the station's owner, it's currently putting out around 800w. I have written an article on this really interesting station as part of my 2015 LA DX Survey, which you can access at:

Thanks for the correct output Rob. I've caught this station once before
and I remember it was listed before also as 1kw. 800w is more like it.

Edit: I was just looking up online, 1kw=1,000watts, I gotta get that straight...so I guess not much difference
in power from 1kw to 800w.
I should try to get a QSL from them.

You can tell the difference?

'It's better to give than receive' so why Rx when you can Tx!

The ACTUAL difference between 1000 and 800w is academic.  ;)  I'm always surprised how well the signal makes it to south eastern Australia, even occasionally in our summer months. The antenna must be pretty high up on their local hill and be a good take-off point.
