I'm fairly knowlegeable in that area, since I routinely prepare and file FCC
applications for high-power FM broadcast stations, up to 50 kW ERP. The
low-duty cycle of typical Amateur SSB and CW operations, and the frequencies
involved, make it fairly unlikely be out of practical compliance with
OET-65. Maybe if you were doing very long-form RTTY bulletins (QST-style)
at 1.5 kW into an antenna up 20', you might be out of compliance with the
Public Exposure Limit, but you would still probably be within the
Occupational Limit.
Another thing I have found is that the calculated field intensities are
usually much higher than the actual measured ones since the formulas always
use absolute worst-case scenarios.

Good solution to the problem and certainly and easy fix.
However, I would have concerns that the station being operated as
described
would not thusly comply with Section 97.13(c) and the maximum permissible
exposure (MPE) reporting requirements. The FCC website,
www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/ has the info. Look for OET
bulletin 65, "Evaluating Compliance with FCC Specified Guidelines for
Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation"
Just an FYI for you folks along the party line.
