DR I've heard varying "opinions" on output power. But when you think about it,
who cares. Even the FCC couldn't tell if you were running 500 watts or 5000
watts. JS

How much power was the RCA 750? 750 W?
I thought the power could not exceed 2 kW on HF and MF WT radiotelegraphy,
phone had restrictions on 2 MHz to 150w.
Passenger ships were 8 kW on MF and HF. I guess they had the 2 MHz 150w
restriction also.
The Stella Lykes WPHZ had a 5 kW but was reflagged from Germany, nice state
room, day room combination.

DR Yes. I made a pre-union trip on the New York Maritime training vessel,
Empire State. She had an old RCA 750 MF transmitter. I was such a newbie I was
scared I was going to get nailed for using it since I did know 500 watts was
the legal limit. But I had so much tfc backed up I went ahead without a
problem. My favorite MF story is when aboard the APL President Harrison, I
worked KFS on 500 entering Yokohama one night. Talk about skip! The KFS
operator couldn't believe my QTH when I told him! Said it must be some kind of
record! ha.

Comrade,
It has nothing to do with capitalism, unless under communism all ships would
have 100 watts spark on 500 kHz.
The question was what was the most powerful MF transmitter you ever keyed?
Mine is MF 1 kW, HF 5 kW both ship and shore.
JS did you ever have a big MF transmitter?

Comrade, start the projector!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSDWHjBgDkwThe guillotine key shown on Titanic
was the right key, but it wasn't the key furnished for the California station.
The large guillotine key (it has a shorting switch on the left side) was only
furnished with the top of the line, 5 kW spark station which was put on the
Olympic class passenger ships, Olympic, Titanic, and Brittiania. I have a
"communications range" circle done by investigating actual message traffic with
know QTH of the various ships - Olympic way to the west of Titanic was in
communication with Titanic - and both were in QSO with MCE Cape Race - great
range those 5 kW stations - the most powerful ship stations in the world.What
was the largest MF installation you guys used on ship?I had a 1 kW on several
ships - Scientific Radio by Raytheon on MF nice sounding keying but terrible
QSK and excellent modulation. We also used one of those at Tuckerton
Radio/WSC.I had 5 kW on HF on Stella Lykes / WPHZ. It made quite a difference
when I was having problems getting WOO from the Eastern Med - as soon as I
popped on the 5 kW they came back on me.We had 5 kW transmitters at WSC
also!Most ships were 200 to 350 watts on MF and about the same on HF - the
ships with the MRU-35 transmitters had 1 kW on HF.How about you? Any of you
use 10 kW on MF? The Queen Mary had 10 kW and 30 kW on MF. The 30 kW would
dim the lights in the dining room, and the CRO had to call the Captain and the
C/Engr before using it to make sure the generators wouldn't blow!
73David N1EA Radio room scenes, deleted from the movie theatre cut.Even
something for RR, a nice conspiracy theory movie about Titanic.
