Re: [IRCA] Blowtorches of the Americas.



I once heard a station ID saying it operated "with a maximum effective radiated power not exceeding 250 thousand watts".ÂÂ An accurate statement if you read it carefully, but a tad misleading.

Good story but I wonder how many of those power levels are "ERP (Effective
Radiated Power) as opposed to "TPO" (Transmitter Power Output).  When you
take antenna gain into consideration it may paint a completely different
picture!  There are 50-kilowatt stations in the U.S. that radiate a lot more
than 50 kilowatts in certain directions.
