Maximum Antenna Height on a Vehicle

"Dave Platt" wrote in message ... In article , Take a look at http://wwwcf.fhwa.dot.gov/legsregs/d...pg/0625sup.htm Thanks, Dave, for the exact reference sites. They were helpful. And thanks to all the others for their replies. I think it's clear that finding one number-- one right answer-- is difficult. I just called the California Highway Patrol office in Altadena and found that there really is no right answer. The guy at the front desk said that the "consensus" in the office was 14 feet. And of course he was speaking only for California. He said that there's no separate regulation for antennas, only the number for total vehicle height. There seems to be no urgency on the part of the CHP to refer to a vehicle code to enforce the height. As you saw, the replies to my post ranged from 12.5 to 14 feet. It surprises me that the standard deviation implied by this spread is that large. All in all, this has been very surprising. Thinking about it some more, perhaps the limiting factor becomes not bridges and overpasses, but fast food drive-thrus and gas station roofs. And parking structures. Don't even think about going to Vegas with an antenna much over 8 feet tall unless you plan on parking in the back 40 with the RV's. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
