Hi all

I would like to build an Hifer beacon in Norway on 22 meter band. 

I have been in contact with the guy's in The Norwegian Post and
Telecommunications. They told me that it is no problem for me to transmit in
the 13.553 - 13.567 MHz band, but the maximum field value have to be 42
dBuA/m at a distance of 10 meters. 

Because this is intended for "Inductive applications" in Norway ( look at
Section 19 in
http://www.npt.no/eng/regulations/regulations/alle/2000/E20001399/E20001399.
html ) and I am in the "near field" of a transmitter I don't know how to
design an antenna and calculate the maximum power output. 

I would be greatful if any one could help me with the design and
calculation.
