Install a real big dummy load on the output, key
the radio, and walk away for a couple days. If
it's still running when you come back, I guess
they were right :)
Just curious WHY you want to prove it?
I'm assuming you are talking about a Ham radio
installation? The BUSIEST repeater around here
*might* get 10% use during an average day, and that
estimation is probably high (2.4 hours a day?).
