What Bull**it! The FCC is about 30 years out of date with this Part 15 rule.

Which is related to the fact that the maximum, legal Part 15 FM field of 
250 uV/m at a 3-m radius from the tx antenna is generated by applying ~11.4 
nW to a 1/2-wave dipole -- which is thousands of times less power than 
generated by many "Part 15" FM transmitters.
