buy an oscilloscope, a 1000:1 probe, and a calibrator.  Measure peak 
volts across a 50-ohm termination.  400v-pk =s 1600w pep.  1000v-pk =s 
10kw pep.  I currently have a mint-condition Bird 10kW tap-water cooled 
termination that  I would to find a good home for.  With orig. Bird 
receipt and water flow meter.  (hook it up to a sprinkler and water the 
grass with 6gpm when you need to dissipate some watts. )
