At this Naval radio station site when it was a fully manned site many years ago
(Dixon, Ca NARS) where they ran REAL power, 250-500 k Po out. Nothing else to
do in the afternoon so I suggested that one of the radiomen tune one of the
transmitters (it was tuned with BCD switches, xmtr was made by Continental
Electronics) to Ch 11 CB band. All of us giggling like fools, as the fellow
spoke into the mike and told everyone out there to be quiet, I do believe THAT
transmission cleared the air on the CB bands in the Sacramento valley and other
surrounding areas for quite a while.
Those xmtrs had tubes with handles on them, I watched in real awe as I looked
on as one was disassembled so some of the burned up elements could be replaced.
RF is fun stuff.

Reminds me of the time I could have legally run 20 KW out from a station
built for the Emir of Qatar. I didn't hear anything worth
answering..boring.
Unlimited power and no frequency limitations.
Another such station was at Redstone
arsenal, unlimited power and frequencies. However if they swept thru
the TV frequencies during the day-soaps, they got hell when they got home..
I think every country must some some such station license. K2LB

Well 5 KW probably is what the driver produce.
During the CQ 160m contest last year there was
this EU station that had his "main" amp out of
service and he was using the back up amp that
"only" did produce 12 KW.
