Clearly, this is "settled science".  Power is measured at the final of the
radio or amplifier, whichever is last.  1500W max PEP from the transmitter
is clearly in the rules - as its quite clear how the FCC states ERP for
other services.  And they don't mention ERP except for the new VLF.

 

This dialog reminds me of the splitting hairs a decade ago of whether 1500W
was "per antenna" in the contest rules and rules finally settled the issue
by rewording that its 1500W total power - regardless of number or direction
of antennas.
