And that's where the term "California Kilowatt" came from. I'm told his rhombics were loud mostly for that reason. I forget what tubes were in his amp, but they sure weren't 6V6s. ;-)
When I was bumming around in the 60's, I visited some west coast stations with large wire antennas with exceptional signals. I remember listening to them on 160, when the power limit was 25 watts INPUT power and the W6's and W8's had to work opposite ends of the band.
One was using marine communications shore transmitters that filled an entire wall. :-)
