[AMPS] Power Handling of Resistors

[k1ta@contesting.com (Bob Marston)]

Comparing the instanteous power handling capabilities of a resistor by
using a cw dit to simulate a parasitic oscillation is specious at best!

And cw dit however short it may seem to some still more closely
approximates a steady state condition rather than an instanteous spike of
an amplifier breaking into parasitic oscillation.

Ever see a lightning rod when it takes a direct strike? The strike is
instanteous but the rod glows redhot for several minutes.
