Total Bus Height ... How High Is Too High?

[sfedeli3]

Hi James,

Here in the Eastern US, you do not want to exceed 12'6" with
anything "valuable". The tips of my CB antennas are at that height
and have a few scrapes from low overpasses and limbs, but have never
been sheared off. Out west, you're probably good at 13'6". The roads
and bridges are newer and higher. You can also sweep the antenna's
back several degrees so that they will easily bend under limbs,
etc... You lose some signal strength at the cost of preserving your
antenna caps.
