Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the ARRL license manual back in the  
early 60's early 70's perhaps  say that PEP was about 2 times DC plate  power?  I 
recall for many years "myself" believing this. Though very  momentary peaks 
may be 4 or 5 times that , the "envelope" over one cycle would  average about 2 
times. Are we getting over technical?   Lou
