Re: [HCDX] A question about the power of European tx'ers

[Jorma Mantyla <jmantyla@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The power game originates from 1950's Cold War.  After WWII
Europe was strictly divided into West and East.  Propaganda was
important for both sides.  Germany was the worst case: East
tried to effect the West and West tried to liberate East.  In
these conditions the power of mw-transmitters was one way to
get the message to the target area.
Because of this political division ITU failed to reach power
limits in the 1948 Copenhagen frequency allocation conference.
The result was known as "power game" on medium-waves.
The situation in North America was different.  Possibly the
radio war between Cuba and the US on MW since 1960's is a
little bit similar, but it is not power game as it was in
Europe.
