RSGB/Ofcom calculator (356 KB MS-Excel Worksheet v.rsgb11c) to calculate your EIRP from practical station parametersincorporating the Ofcom spreadsheet. This now includes specific advice for VHF beams. We still plan to provide a web based version which does not require use of a spreadsheet. This calculator will be updated later to use exposure limits based on ICNIRP 2020 reference levels and will incorporate more antennas
