[Antennas] Mobile Antenna Height

Fri, 31 May 2002 19:03:54 -0700

I agree with Jerry, the maximum height is around 13 feet.  Being a Rover, I
often run with some pretty high antennas.  I've never tried to go all the
way to 13 feet, however.  I keep everything below about 8 to 9 feet.  I've
never had any problems with bridges, but tree limbs really get to be a pain
with antennas that high.

And just forget about the drive-thru's...

Does anyone know what is the maximum height you can have for a mobile
antenna?  I just purchased a Hamstick at the Rochester Ham Fest and question
if I have exceeded a safe height.

What about interstate bridges here in the states?  Is there a minimum height
of the bridge structure to allow safe passage of large trucks and RVs?
