[Amps] Most power ever run on amateur radio :-)

[n8de at thepoint.net]

The original question concerned AMATEUR RADIO use ... not illegal CB.

My recollection was that a certain OD5 station used Radio Lebanon  
transmitters/antennas on 20m quite often.  Best estimate was 40Kw into  
high gain antennas.

He would be the ONLY station on the band at unusual hours ... and  
S9+++ at all times.

I notice that George is no longer listed as a ham.
