Well, here we get into the very muddy waters of just how you measure ERP - seemingly a very imprecise science. Also the far more interesting area of matching the antenna to the propagation medium (s

But of course the statement is true. 1W ERP from a dummy load inside a Faraday screeen inside lead-lined container will also radiate as well as 1W ERP from a full sized dipole. The key word is Radiat
