Alan told you the correct way of doing it. What you need is either the scope or a peak reading power meter/ voltmeter.

Last year, one of the board members did exactly that and posted his results. As I recall, the peak to average power was about 25:1 which indicated to me that one needs to be concerned with both peak and average power.

Maybe someone can find those posts and put them here.
