"Hundreds of watts from a 2SC2879" and you'll see where that is the case using a very similar transistor. Aftermuch skepticism, W8JI finallyconfirmed what many of us already knew."

100% correct.
This was done with a single original Toshiba 2sc2879 .
The thread both here and over on QRZ also proved that the 2879 was capable of much more than the 120 watts that the transistor spec sheet stated that was published by Toshiba.
Another reason I say that Spec sheets are not the final word on many transistors.
It is worth reading both threads.
I wish Tom had posted the test jig he used.
