Question about "mystery" Pine Mountain radio site above Azusa

[AM909]

... The license does not show TX output power, only the antenna EIRP (as 70.9dBm). According to this converter, that would be 12.3 kW in what I presume would be the tightly focused beam path. But jeez, isn't that a touch high? I can understand punching through rain fade (the link is in the Ku-band range). But wouldn't 12.3 kW at 11 GHz cook anyone who got in the way to a crisp? I must be trying the conversion incorrectly...

Calc is correct. MDR-8711 11 GHz transmitter w/amp is +29 dBm, minus a couple dB feed loss, and adding a +44 dBi 6' dish yields +70.9 dBm EIRP.
