On a sustained AHHHH, the duty-cycle is around 35%.  Sentences have a 
duty-cycle of roughly 15%.  This is why so many ssb amplifiers get by 
with a fairly small HV transformer.  In order to be able to see this, one 
needs an oscilloscope to compare the peak v drop across the plate/anode 
meter shunt R with the plate/anode meter reading.  

good question, Hank.
