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.
