What 50,000 watts of RF energy sounds like through a jumper cable

The pictured parabola antenna likely has a gain around +20dB. Would that change your calculation?

i don't think it would change (probably wrong) since the active energy is only generated by the final PA's in the system. the Antenna's gain is only from the passively reactive design. Its like making a violin string resonate by only moving the bow and not physically the string.

i mis-read your comment - it has no affect at all as its not whats transmitting 50kW!
