I don't know how they get away with running that much power unless the powers that be really don't care. LOL
Just like I think its silly for 2 guys to get on 20M and point there 5 plus element mono banders at each other, maybe they're a hundred miles apart and run 1.5KW and plan a pizza meeting at a local restaurant. LOL
but that's just me. Up here in Newfoundland, there's a couple of locals who check into the local 75M net running 1.5KW and they have a sort of round table after and they're in a 100 mile radius of each other. (HIHI)
