I think the idea of calling it 'rms power' is to distinguish it from 'PEP' or
'Peak power', or from'average power'.

In the latter case, it's obvious for a steady carrier, but the 'average' power
output of a  morse transmitter if measured as a time average, is very variable
for a given PEP.

Another set of dumb things that that annoy are 'a.c. current', 'd.c. current'
and 'I.F. frequency'

But isn't 'DD50' a particular US Navy destroyer?
