Notice from Mr. Mike, W1RC, VE2XL:
ATTENTION ALL F.C.C. LICENSED RADIO AMATEURS:
I have posted a short article that distills all the technical, legal and bureaucratic verbiage relative to this matter down to the basics explaining it in understandable terms and showing you how to calculate the numbers you will need to keep with your station documents in compliance with F.C.C. Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) rules and requirements that now affect ALL radio amateurs.
In reality, when all is said and done, it is merely some technical and legal housekeeping that is easier to perform than it is to explain and describe.

It seems the first calculator has errors, this one is better.

The one on the ARRL website is also good.

Answers are given in minimum number of feet from center of antenna to both controlled and uncontrolled areas. Note that duty cycle of the emissions is a factor. The FCC-accepted duty cycle for conversational CW is 40%.
