Yes it would take a lot of power to leak out of a dummy load and exceed the ham limit. I recall working with a load on a 50 kw TV transmitter. It had dowtherm circulated over an element about a foot long and an inch in diameter. It was a five horse pump and there was a heat exchanger to the house water supply., That one was good for CCS.

I was told there would be no math on this reflector, but 30db is 1000 times, so 1.5 MW That would take one heck of a dummy load. Not that I imagine that I've seen everything, but the biggest dummy load I've ever seen was able to handle 40 kW of 100 MHz signal for brief periods with the coolant circulating. I think someone's mistaken though. Hams don't have radiated power limits above 1.5 MHz.

I did notice on the Expert Amplifier video that they demo'd the 1.5K amp into a dummy load, of course, and they got 1500 watts out on 30 meters (10 MHz). 1500 on 30 ???? Not sure they knew what they were doing.
