[BC] The last of the tube 1000 watt transmitters

[dynotherm at earthlink.net]

You may be correct, although I thought the Power Rock moniker
was applied only to the 820D's and E's (5 kW). 

I guess it is just me, but I don't think of things like the 
MW5's etc as real tube transmitters (although they are). To 
me a real tube box not only has tubes but is high level 
modulated by a push-pull pair and IRON. IOW, just like
back in the day. <g>
