Sec.
95.408 (CB Rule 8) How high may I put my antenna?
(a)
Antenna means the radiating system (for transmitting,
receiving or both) and the structure
holding
it up (tower, pole or mast). It also means everything else
attached to the radiating system
and
the structure.
(b)
If your antenna is mounted on a hand-held portable unit, none
of the following limitations apply.
(c)
If your antenna is installed at a fixed location, it
(whether receiving, transmitting or both) must
comply
with either one of the following:
(1)
The highest point must not be more than 6.10 meters (20
feet) higher than the highest point
of
the building or tree on which it is mounted; or
(2)
The highest point must not be more than 18.3 meters (60
feet) above the ground.
(d)
If your CB station is located near an airport, and if
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 meter above the airport elevation for every
hundred meters of distance from
the
nearest point of the nearest airport runway.
Differences
in ground elevation 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.

WARNING:
Installation and removal of CB station antennas near
powerlines is dangerous. For your
safety,
follow the installation directions included with your antenna.
