hey jimbo, if commercial am radio station says it is a 50,000 watt
blow torch, what does that mean? is that 50k watts rms???? would
that be about 90,000 pep??? also i noticed a lot of them are changing
over to solid state units. i was wondering what kind of transistors
are they using and how are they kept cool so that the station can
continue broadcasting 24 hours a day??? come on, come
on................


They use Fet's, and they aren't like cbers who push amplifiers etc to the
limit.
