Power increase is 16KW....about 30%...which is not that much in coverage...BUT 27 to 341 meters (88 to about 1120 ft for those folks who used the old way 
) IS a BIG increase.....could have stayed at 50KW and the range difference with the height increase would be soo close, its not worth mentioning
