I worked on Navy electronic contracts and had several opportunities to
watch "huge" pulsed RF energies sprayed out of big waveguides onto our
equipment, testing for radiation susceptibility, out on a rooftop.
"Huge" because I have no clear memory of how much, but it was certainly
more that a MW peak. We all stood around, in a not-that-big semicircle,
while the lead Navy tech person horsed stuff around and turned the power
off and on.
It may be that I can't remember what the power level was because of
those exposures? My life has been sometimes weird since then...

You and Terry are electrical engineers, do you guys think that is a good

No. It's either a Mai Tai or pure rum, 151 pf. You'll get cataracts
regardless.
