    Handles and CB Etiquette?

    I have a couple of books and had all the FCC info from the 70's Folks use cell phone now. No SWR or antenna's to fuss with.

    Ideal Minimum Antenna Height

    I realize the tread is old. Where I live I have had the best luck putting my antennas in the tree tops. 80-110 ' off the ground. I live in the forest so I have really good luck getting out with the antenna poking out in the tree tops.
