Curiosity, as this is something most hams are unaware of, or concerned
about power factor.
In practical terms just what does that mean to a QRO operator? Yes, I
know it makes the load appear larger than it actually is and if you draw
enough load it can be noticed by the power company. Still, no one here
in the states complains whether you draw 1 KW, or 15 with your station.
I've never heard of a commercial ham amp with power factor correction.
Do they exist?
So other than a bit of unneeded increase in your bill, what is the
problem where the single station is concerned "here in the states"?
