[Amps] Transformer Update

[Jeff Blaine]

In a word of instantanious pulsed peak power characterizations, serious 
iron for serious duty cycle applications (RTTY or AM) is hard to come by.

And while this may be overkill for the average guy, I would call that a 
real RTTY-capable service PS!  And the extra heat can warm the shack 
very nicely at the same time.  Wow, a dual-purpose box....  Sweet.
