In Theoretical Physics it is common to use what physicists call God Given natural units where constants like C for the speed of light or h-bar are set to 1 (without units). In this system, Power, which is [Energy] divided by [Time], is actually Inverse [Time]-Squared. This is because Energy has the same units as inverse time. Thus, Power can be expressed in Seconds to the minus 2 power. 73, phil, K7PEH On Dec 3, 2013, at 7:49 AM, WILLIAM DAVIS bruceda...@me.com wrote: I always express power in ohms. ;-) Bruce AC8BT On Dec 2, 2013, at 11:30 PM, elecraft-requ...@mailman.qth.net wrote: George, I have doubts about any engineer who expresses power in volts. 73, Don W3FPR __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

That reminds me of a story from my youth. My friend was showing his ham station to his aged grandmother. And this is my 80-meter antenna, he said, pointing to a dipole in the back yard. 80 meters? she said, in her thick Hungarian accent. Is that dangerous?

Horsepower works for me. When you equate power to horses, you get a much more graphic understanding of waste than you do with watts. And anyone who can't make contacts with 6.7 millihorsepower is doing something wrong.

End of Thread in the interest of improving the Elecraft list signal to noise ratio. Also, when replying to a posting in a list Digest, please change the subject line form the Digest number to something more informative.
