The 19 set will put out between 14 and 15 watts on CW, roughly 4 or 5 on R/T on a good

The aerial circuit is a series resonant configuration, composed of the Variometer (L),
the aerial capacitance (C), and the radiation resistance + Variometer resistance (R).
The aerial circuit is fairly high Q, BTW.
