60 meter ERP

I just read the QST article on 60 meters and I have some questions.
The FCC said that 50 watts ERP is allowed and a half wave dipole will
be presumed to have a gain of 0 dBd. iI don,t think most hams will put
up a dipole for 60 , but will use existing antennas such as 30 40 or
80 meter dipoles.how would you calculate the ERP for these antennas to
be in compliance with the FCC.

I suspect the FCC would be satisfied with EZNEC modeling results.
Give him four uninterrupted hours, and Reg will have a software
package for it. :-)

Reg has had that software on his site for years. It is called Dipole3.exe.
That is what I used to document my antenna for 60 meters.
