Maximum power of a station is determined by the frequency the station is using, tower height, antenna type and proximity to other stations that could suffer interference from it.

A rule of thumb for distant digital reception: A station on a taller tower may often be easier to receive than a higher power station on a shorter tower.
Doesn't the FCC determine how much a station can output too? I always thought it was on a per station basis but I could be way wrong on that.
