An interesting thought. Here's one data point that might apply during
a RTTY contest:

freq: 28.1
power out: 1500 watts
KT-34XA (11dBd, according to KLM)
100' 9913
100% emission mode duty factor
70% transmitting duty cycle (lots of "cq contest")

According to my spreadsheet, the antenna would have to be 60' from
me and my family, and 133' from any neighbors. I guess I should go
argue for a 140' tower!
