[Amps] MEASURING RF POWER

[R.Measures]

Good points, John, but we learned one thing totally new -- i. e ., that 
RMS volts times RMS amperes do not equal RMS watts.  Also, we learned 
that Bird® Model 43 wattmeters measure watts directly without measuring 
either current or voltage.
-  As I see it, this topic has been extraordinarily revealing.
