Given that the rule at the time was based on input power to the final stage, it
begs the question of how could they possibly know without being in your shack?
Granted, enforcement then was a far cry from now with station audits not
unusual.
Today it's hard enough to get the FCC to enforce rules against deliberate
interference.

REPLY:
When I was a new ham back in the late 1950's, the FCC issued a number
of citations for excess power and the details were printed in QST. As
I recall, some of the citations were for very small transgressions of
the 1kW limit, some as small as ten to twenty watts or so. It made
enough of an impression that I remember it still.
For what it's worth.
