Well put, Tom.
To run 5KW Output you would need 8KW input...well beyond the
normal single phase service to the average ham shack.
I think our friend in Iowa was merely making a shot gun
approach
statement without any facts to back it up.

Running 5KW from the average
residential place might be hard to do. Normally to run this type of
power you need three-phase primary power and this is usually not available
in residential areas --- in fact it is often hard to obtain in
light-industrial areas.
Figure it
out for yourself, even running a primary power of 220 voltrs, for just the
final alone you would need 5000/220 or 22.72 amps, not counting the rest
of the rig and accessories.
