€  However, amateur radio guys who go shopping for a Dahl Grade E-core 
hipersil transformer tend to act like aborigine guys when they go 
shopping for a new phallocarp.  .-- i.e., they tend to buy a larger unit 
than what is called for.  .  .  As a rule of thumb, for ssb service, 
Dahl's continuous VA rating can be multiplied by three to arrive at PEP.  
In other words a 1000VA rated grade-E transformer should be good 3kWPEP 
on SSB.

€  good point.  .  .  IOW more copper and less paper.
