Yes about the isotropic radiator.
If you run some quick and dirty analysis, I think you'll find that it's very,
very hard to get to 5 watts EIRP with the electrically-short verticals that you
will be running on this band. Most people are running to be running verticals
with much less than 1% efficiency.
There are some software analysis tools floating around the net somewhere that
estimate EIRP.

How to get to, or measure, a watt of EIRP with an antenna that is all
but underground (or at least 90% of the
near-field is) could be a challenge.
I assume the "I" is for that elusive isotropic radiator?
