Since FCC rules are written for a transmitter in the USA, I would 
assume they mean a resonant wire dipole suspended above the earth at 
heights hams would typically use. Using this interpretation, one 
would need to reduce power if running into a Yagi, but could run 
considerably more power into a mobile whip.
