No.  All you have to do is say that all antennas must be confined to an area
with a 100ft or 30 meter radius.  There should also be a height limitation
of , say, 70 feet max for all antennas.  RX antennas unrestricted except for
the adhering to the 100 ft radius circle.  Those with more than one antenna
for a band that qualifies must choose 1 antenna to use per band and cannot
change.  Power limited to 100 watts output.

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".
