DNP (dynamic nuclear polarization) experiments at 5 T are reported, in which a cycoltron resonance maser (gyrotron) is utilized as a 20 W, 140 GHz microwave source to perform the polarization. MAS (magic angle spinning) NMR spectroscopy with DNP has been performed on samples of polystyrene doped with the free radical BDPA (, -bisdiphenylene--phenylallyl) at room temperature. Maximal DNP enhancements of 10 for ^1H and 40 for ^13C are observed and are considerably larger than expected. The DNP and spin relaxation mechanisms that lead to these enhancements at 5 T are discussed.
