Most power ever on HF activation?

One KW using the Heathkit KW Kompact with DC supply and Kenwood 430S, powered by a 100 amp hour communications battery for the amp. SSB only. RF feedback required some re-positioning from what is shown in the picture. Battery weighs 80 pounds. Drive-on summit, of course. No need for that much power, but Eric, KU6J, dared me to do it. Once was enough. The usual amp is an HF Packer Amp at 35 watts.
