He was probably thinking triode numbers and ceramic at that. Remember the cb
crowd has figured out how to "swing" 15kw from a mobile system with a stock
alternator and battery. It must be the new math that allows 13.8 Vdc and 500 A
to produce 15kw. Besides Part 15 rules, they regularly break Ohm's law too.

Subject: [Amps] urban myth and transmitting tubes
I was selling some 4-1000A duds as display items for our local radio
club when a guy came by and started talking about
tubes. Now, this guy did have a ham ticket but not an old timer. He
insisted that he knew someone that had a 4-10,000 tube and another person
that had some 4-5000 tubes. I tried to explain to him that it was very
unlikely and as far as I knew the largest radiation cooled, glass envelope,
tube
made was probably the 2000T. Are these some CB urban myths or what?
