[Boatanchors] Tri-Phazers

[Charles Ring]

I worked at an AM radio station on 790 KHz with a daytime power of 1000 
watts, 156 watts pre-sunrise, and 51 watts nighttime (an old daytimer). 
When the RFR rules came out I was shocked to learn that even 51 watts on 
790 KHz was too much to be legal when someone was on the tower.
