Channel 3 (low VHF) is still used for commercial TV broadcast in some cities. you need to consult the FCC site or a site like antennaweb.org to determine what RF channels are in use in your area. Note that a strong signal on channel 3 can cause adjacent-channel interference on channels 2 and 4.

I haven't looked at Part 15 recently, but I think it may specify field strength, not output power. If so, this will be a real problem to measure without a calibrated field strength meter and antenna.
