The setups I've actually seen up close are typically rigs like Chevy Suburbans with big banks of batteries in the rear, multiple alternators, and a 9-12 KW+ "Dave-Made", "Skullcrackka", or other specialty 11M amp, feeding their up-front Bird wattmeters and the big antennas on the roof (mounted on big blocks of plexiglass) with 1/2" heliax. I've seen them at ham swap meets looking for short lengths of 1/2" heliax and UHF Andrew heliax connectors to go with it.
