A "monster feed?" It is easy to run #10 copper to one or more an
outlets. #10 can be fused at 30A in North America. #8 and #6 copper are
not all that uncommon, and often run to sub-panels. Doing the
arithmetic, 30A is 7,200 W at 240V. Last I looked, the FCC Rules limit
my output power to 1,500W. Dunno about other countries. How many of
these amps would be transmitting simultaneously? Is this for a
multi-multi contesting station?
Also, I imagine there are electrical code limitations for feeder size in homes.
No.
