  "The FCC has granted operation on USB (2K8J3E emission) only, with a 
maximum effective radiated power limit of 50 W relative to a 0 dB gain 
antenna--a half-wave dipole."

Beams are allowed, but you must adjust your power so it's 50 Watts ERP when 
compared to a dipole.  Frankly who would go for the expense of a 60 Meter 
Beam and be limited to 50 Watts ERP.
