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
idea to put your head beside a 30,000 watt pulsed microwave radar while

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