Hi Gary,

>test be capable of evenly cooking a mil-standard sized cow? 

The tests will basically demonstrate to the prime contractor that the
transmitter will do what it was speced to do.  It is a 2.5 Megawatt(can
be driven to 5) amplifier.  139 Kvolt Klystron tube voltage.  It will be
driven into a dummy load so nothing exciting will happen unless it
fails.

> Can just anyone show up for the tests?

Sorry, but it will be government and prime contractor only.  But I
should be able to give more details later.
