Not me personally but my Elmer, the late W7UVR, back in the AM days ran a 
high-level modulated 4-1000A.

I've got his QSLs around here someplace, but in the meantime someone else has 
posted them too: http://hamgallery.com/qsl/country/USA/Washington/w7uvr.htm

He later converted to SSB, increased the generator to 15KW, had another ham 
friend cut up and build beautiful tubular hinges to fold the elements of a 
3-element tribander for travel.

The home station was equally impressive, although until Collins introduced their 
noise blanker, was primarily used to transmit bulletins or code practice.  The 
mobile rig was the answer to the noise problem before that.
