Ron,

I'll let Alan address this himself and I'll stand corrected  if I'm 
wrong, but I'm not sure I have ever seen him claim to put out more than 
legal limit over the air.

He does own   1 or more amps that can produce  very high power, but 
owning such  gear isn't a violation.

I've always had the impression  (rightly or wrongly) that any time he is 
running power in excess of the limit, it is into a dummy load for 
testing purposes, and not over the air.  I had that impression about his 
recent experience regarding his TW-1, which is  now a soot blackened 
paperweight.
