Back in the day.... when a few US stations would locate the studios on US soil, but locate the transmitters,
south of the border, in Mexico, which did not have the 50KW restrictions.

In the case of radio station XERA, the studios were in Del Rio, Texas, and the Transmitter in Ciduad Acuna, just across the Rio Grande.
