The FCC gives you two choices:

(1) a fixed output power into an antenna of fixed size, or,

(2) any output power into an antenna of any length, but the field-strength
    allowable at a fixed distance is fixed.

The intent is to limit the ERP of the unlicensed transmitter.

Would you like me to dig up the specs. so I can cite chapter and verse ?
