Love to see what the output signal from a 350 watt AM/FM Galaxy looks like on a spectrum analyzer.
Quality parts produce a quality clean carrier wave. It’s more about the carrier and the frequency than the wattage output. Some frequencies (which are all locked up legally) can carry farther with minimal wattage. I have talked a couple hundred miles on just 5 watts 10 meter.
With the wattage I have on AM I have talked to the east coast from Az. But I had to “break the law” to do so because the hammers and the government have outlawed high wattage long range communications without submitting to the control.
Just a small slice, I have been hearing the arguments for years and years but truly... what will it hurt to open a thin slice?
See this situation in Ca? This is why it would be more beneficial than harmful now at this point. A good long range relay net system does not require repeaters that can be controlled or shut down like this. And you should not have to kiss anyone’s rear end to use it. :)
SNORT!!! ROFLMAO!!! Based on the question I'm sure you already know, as do I.

He’s nuts if he thinks a little rice-box under-dash radio will do 350 Watts - there isn’t enough HEAT SINK on the rear of the radio for the power transistors ...

More splatter than an iron skillet full of bacon on a hot stove.
