John,
It takes a lot of muscle power to even power a 15 watt or less HF radio 
from the crank generators.  I don't think it feasible to do so with a 
100 watt ham radio, if such a generator existed. 

In about 15 minutes we were tired out back when I was a college lad in 
good shape, and that was on an Army AN/GRC9 low power radio!  Could not 
lift a finger to a 100 watt capable hand crank job today.
73,
