Is it ERP or power to the antenna?  I am forever getting stick for my poor
command of English, but best I can tell you have said it is based on ERP,
then based on power to antenna, then said its not based on ERP.

Unless the GM parliament hasn't had better things to do, I would imagine
you have the same 26 dBW power limit (at the antenna feed point) restriction
that we still enjoy from the colonial times.

And if my non-HP calculator is to be trusted, 26 dBW is more like 398 
watts.  ;^)
