Thinking about it some more, perhaps the limiting factor becomes not

I can still remember my dad (the first W3DHJ) telling the story of the
night back in 1952 when he had to buy seven 8' fluorescent lamps at a
gas station somewhere outside Pasco, Wash.

The maximum height for _my_ mobile antennas is 7' 1". *My garage
door is at 7' 2" and I know someday I'll blissfully drive into
the garage someday with the 6M Halo mounted.

I did that atanold abandoned gas station one night when I oulled under
the canopy to get out of a storm. It didnt look like I was the first
to do it.
