Never ever once has it 1000 watts carrier power level PERIOD. So how could it be reduced? It was 1000 watts or 900 watts INPUT regardless of effeciency, Class C being the best.. About 700 watts. Without meters to measure accuractly it was 900 watts INPUT. With a Linear the 1000 watts in would get you a coupla hundred watts at best. The PEP OUTPUT was deemed easy to measure with standard PEP meters. Sure we lost aboout 50 percent at full modulation but could use grid modulated, linears, or poor quality tank circuits and only had to measure the power OUTPUT. Life ain't always fair..
I was here for 52 years watching. They stole the 11 meter band from us also in 1958. Want it back?
