My load estimate is also based on 6 watts per radio (which is the number I usually see thrown around), but I suspect the actual average would be closer to 4 watts, which is going to put it right in line with your 1.3-1.4 amp @24v estimate, which would put 20X the load at something more like 650 watts. A lot really depends on how easy the site is to access and how tight your budget is.
