The divergence of the C VI 182-{} lasing line generated in a rapidly recombining, magnetically confined plasma column was measured with soft---x-ray spectrometers equipped with multichannel detectors. In addition to measurements of the relative divergence, an absolute divergence of {~}9 mrad at a magnetic field of 20 kG and {~}5 mrad at a magnetic field of 35 or 50 kG was obtained by a direct scan of the 182-{} axial radiation. Based on these data a peak 182-{} power of {~}100 kW is obtained. Calculations of the spatial distribution of gain in the plasma were in very good agreement with the experimental data.
