Well, This is getting off topic for this reflector, but information is that there have been experimental (amateur radio) stations on the (new) bands for some time, with higher power limits than have currently been authorized for general amateur radio use going forward. There have been no

Yes, +20 dBm would do it if the antenna and transmission line efficiency were a perfect 100%. A no-loss transmission line and a full size dipole or vertical. With the small antennas (with respect for wavelength) that are typical for that band, very low antenna and transmission line
