Certain nit-pickers (who, me?) might point out that if a MW tx generates 50 
kW across the input terminal(s) of the antenna system, that is all the power 
that can be radiated, no matter what is the stated "efficiency" of the 
antenna.  Antennas with greater FCC efficiency just concentrate more of the 
available tx power into radiation in the horizontal plane, at the expense of 
radiation in other elevations.

I guess most here know this, but just in case...
