stew perry has it something like "all antennas confined to a 50 foot cube" with 
the bottom of the cube at your living room height, not extending over salt 
marshes or open sea, the total home depot cost of the antennas shall not exceed 
$100, no design help from Antenna Experts, all  antennas must be invisible from 
the closest street, and positively NO kirptonite balans (rules set for 160 
meter contests)

It sure would. This shows how carefully things have to be worded when 
making rules.

Perhaps stating the gain equivalent would be better, i.e. "An antenna 
with gain equivalent to a half-wave dipole or a 1/4 wave vertical 
worked against ground".
