	[Bob Foxworth]  I must stress that there is nothing "cast in
stone" about 100 kW, I was merely supposing that if the target audience
is local, lower power will be needed. However if they run an
"international service" then more power is called for, and I guessed
that ~100 kW might be a possibility in the first case, as I bet
electricity is not cheap on IOM - I really don't know what it will be
...sure hope I do  _not_  read somewhere that this figure is being
reported as the real power of this outlet, and that it came from me!!!
