[BC] Part 15 Antenna Limits...

[Burt I. Weiner]

That is including the ground lead, not plus.  Three meters total 
including the ground lead (if used).  If you make a more efficient 
radiator you will have to back the power power down as the maximum 
allowable field intensity is specified in Part 15 under, "Intentional 
Radiators".
