I just did a search on the ARRL website QST archives using every key word(s)
I could  imagine.  I could not find the referenced article.  Perhaps someone
else would have better luck.  I would love to read the article.

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.
