[Amps] PCB Trace width for 1500 watts RF?

Anyone care to opine on the minimum pcb trace width appropriate (i.e. safe)
to carry 1500 watts between 1.8 and 30 Mhz into an impedance mismatch of
less than 2.5:1?  Assume 2 oz copper thickness.

Almost as useful would be if someone who knows something about RF (since I
know practically nothing, which is a separate subject) can tell me the
maximum current in a wire carrying 1500 watts into a 2.5:1 mismatch.

Thanks!
