It worked. I like the word power. Ronald W.P. King uses it in
"Transmission Lines, Antennas and Wave Guides" on page 245 for example:
"Important properties of transmission circuits (wave guides) of all
types include the following:
1. Low power loss (a) due to heating the conductors and dielectrics of
the circuit itself, and (b) due to radiation.
2. Sufficient power capacity. This implies sufficient spacing of
conductors and adequate dielectric strength of insulating media to
prevent spark discharge; it presupposes conductors with enough surface
to carry large high-frequency currents.
3. An adequate frequency range and a useful frequency response.
4. Physical availability.
5. Special features such as rotational symmetry for swivel points,
invariance in polarization of flexible construction."
