[BC] AM HD power levels

[W2XJ]

To follow the thread (which is becoming more difficult on this list), that would be mid 60s electricity. I think the number is high for that era. In a  post that got eaten by the board Robotron, I questioned that even with those numbers how that compares to replacing 4 4-400s every 6 months.

Erm... someone may get here first, but... (and though few have 5
cents per kW these days):

         if the difference for three months is $45, then
         for a year it is 4 * 45 or $180.

         OF course, you are welcome to send me that
         extra $35, or more.... I can make my mother
         out to a modest dinner.
