Ever heard of 'normalising', John? Since this reflector is international,
normalising to 1 kW, which is a common power around the world, seems fair. I
could have said 350volts at 10 watts or 35 volts at 100mW................or
35kV at 100kW! It wouldn't have altered the thrust of what I was saying.
