dBW it is. It's what's used in transmitter license filings, since most 
transmitters are Watts, kilowatts, or megawatts. Very few licenses 
issued for <1 Watt.

One also needs to know the EIRP. 10 dBW into a 20dBi sector antenna with 
a downtilted horizontal beam that's 100 degrees wide means that from an 
interference standpoint, it's like the transmitter is a kilowatt from an 
isotrope.
