[ARC5] [Milsurplus] History of the GO-series of USN Long-Range Transmitters

[Howard Holden]

An expansion on the power output ratings - at least from my GO-9 manual:

Below 15000 ft with a trailing wire antenna:
300-600Kc 100W
3000-13000Kc 125W
13000-18100Kc 100W
With a fixed antenna, all frequencies 50W

Above 15000 ft, trailing wire antenna:
300-600Kc 70W
3000-18100Kc 100W
With a fixed antenna:
300-450Kc 10W
450-600Kc 20W
3000-18100Kc 40W

Power in MCW mode is 70% of CW output.

According to a chart in the back of the manual actual power output could be 
expected to range from 250W down to 35W depending on mode and frequency.

My GO-9 will deliver 100W on 80 and 40, and about 70W on 20M with a 1400V HV 
supply, and 400V LV supply.
