Situational ethics.

I know of:

1) Class Cs with 440 mV/m/kW at 1 km radiators and are less than 1 kW 
days, but are a full kilowatt at night.

2) Class Cs with 440 mV/m/kW at 1 km radiators and a full kilowatt days, 
but are less than 1 kW at night.

3) Class Cs with 440 mV/m/kW at 1 km radiators and are a full kilowatt 
days, and are a full kilowatt at night.

4) X-banders which have 10 kW, days into 440 mV/m/kW at 1 km radiators, 
but are limited to 281 mV/m at 1 km nights, so they are really 24.5 kW 
days and 1 kW nights.

(In the last case, the metro has 13 million persons, and the ground 
conductivity is good, at least 8 mS, so 25/1 is not a bad signal, 
although 225 degrees is not so good for fading)
