It is a pulse transmitter. It makes short bursts of 10 or 12 pulses, and then waits one GRI, and then does it again. I would think the actual continuous power draw is around 10Kw.

"There's the minor issue of getting the power company to put in a cable to the house for your 1 Mw (capital M not lower case M) transmitter." I can't resist citing a personal anecdote regarding power distribution. A few years back, I was working on a proposal for a high power (1MW) power supply system. Our building currently has about 750kW service, so I asked the facility engineer to call the power company to find out how much it would cost and how long it would take to get another MW in our building. He called me back quickly. He was told that because he called after 2PM, they could not do it that day and the soonest we could have it would be the next day. He was laughing so much, he never got to ask how much it would cost... Didier
