Thanks.

"VDC" is a Three-Letter Abbreviation with multiple meanings
VDC - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDC
Most Likely - Volts of Continuous Current (Direct Current)
* For Modern Soild State Equipment it would be the
DC Power Supply Voltage(s).
* For Old-Time Tube {Valve} Radio Equipment the DC "Plate"
Voltage of the Transmitter or more specifically the Plate Voltage
{Plate Current} of the Output Finals of the Transmitter or RF
Power Amplifier -aka- Linear Amplifier.
