[BC] MORE WESTINGHOUSE 50 HG

[Tom]

Don't know about this specific unit, but the Big One - "RCA 1", the 500 
kw rig at WLW, used the W-E transmitter as RF drive; it was plate 
modulated, as well.  So being plate modulated would not be a bar to 
using a full-up lower-powered transmitter as the RF driver stage for a 
high powered Tx.
