I'll risk sticking my neck out again into the battle
(I learned something last time)

Is it being suggested, in essence, that if an amplifier delivers (as per
Bird wattmeter) 1500W RF to the coax, that due to the power transfer
rule, the amp's tubes must be generating at least 3KW RF?  My HV and
plate current suggest otherwise.

Or am I missing something?
