PART 95--PERSONAL RADIO SERVICES--Table of Contents
Subpart D--Citizens Band (CB) Radio Service
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. |

Hollowpoint posted the law forthe service that is generally called "CB". Other services may, or may not, have rules/laws on antenna and/or support structure height. Having, or not having, a "ham ticket" would be of no matter. The rules of the service in question is all that matters. The law would apply the same no matter what one's involvement in another service would be.
Also, any antenna/support structure for any service, or no actual "service" at all (such as TV or shortwave reception) may, or may not, fall under laws/rules imposed by the FAA, other federal or state agencies, the military, state, county, or municipal governments. |
