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.
