Shack is 24' X 32' with 12' ceiling (formerly a one-room school house).  Building is unshaded in direct  sunlight in afternoon. QRO transmitters and other station equipment give off considerable heat.  

Various on-line calculators recommend between 19k and 30k BTU with pertinent data entered. The old a/c is 23k, although at 40 y.o. it probably doesn't have that much cooling capacity any more.

Besides RFI considerations, I have to figure out a way to get the old one down and the new one up in its place.  Hole in the wall is 8' high off the floor.  Most units I have checked take the same size hole and weigh 130-150 lbs.
