Hi Colin
This info is fairly reliable. It came from a professional RF person and ham who spent time with the RI's last time they were in this area. The conversation as told to me was: "the ends of the antenna (in this case an inverted V was being discussed) need to be more than twice the height (more likely the reach) of a person, about 4m, so they cannot be touched."
To me that means "no matter what calculations you might have done to determine exclusion zones (or don't need to do if ACMA level 2 compliance is not required) the antenna must not be touchable. I think that is reasonable and sensible, but how does it translate to a vertical and its radials?
