If 11m is basically line of sight, and the fcc says a cb antenna can't be any higher than 60ft. Or 20 ft above the building or tree in which its mounted If i had an 80ft tall tree am I restricted to 60ft or would I be allowed 20 ft above tree?
The reason I'm asking this question is for a few reasons.
1. My current antenna sits at about 16ft above
the peak of my roof. Its a 102 steel whip no spring or riser. But the antenna is eye level with powerlines.
I have tall trees and I know if I could get above the power lines my noise level would cut down significantly.
2. I was told by an older fella that there are 3 levels of height that complement the cb band and from what he's saying im still in the first level. If any of this is smoke in your receive, I hear you!
Anyways any info is greatly appreciated!
