you antenna structure is more than 6.1 meters (20 feet)
high, you may have to obey additional restrictions. The
highest point of your antenna must not exceed one

between your antenna and the airport runway may
complicate this formula. If your CB station is near an
airport, you may contact the nearest FCC field office for
a worksheet to help you figure the maximum allowable
height of your antenna. Consult part 17 of the FCC's
Rules for more information.
