That excuse doesnt cut it Mike and from what I was told by those who were
there his power would be considered pretty normal these days. You can only
get so much out of a pair of 450TL's, 4-1000A's, etc.
Some on here that you seem to look up to run more than that.
OTOH you completely discounted Dons LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

There were a lot of tall tales told about W6AM's rhombics. Don't base a
desire to have a rhombic on those fables.
And that's where the term "California Kilowatt" came from. I'm told his
rhombics were loud mostly for that reason. I forget what tubes were in his
amp, but they sure weren't 6V6s. ;-)
