13'
11'
The bottom of the traffic signal is likewise 16' above the road (or more, but usually not much more)
If your antenna sticks up 18' it's gonna suffer damage..
My roof is 11' as I recall (Measured it) might be 12, 12.5 feet to top of rig, unloaded

I hope you dont think I would be stupid enough to leave the antenna in place while traveling, do ya??? That mount has a Quik-Connect on, so I can switch antennas, or place/remove said antennas at will. I might be a SENIOR CITIZEN, but I havent quite lost my mind yet, hi hi.. !!! (although I am beginning to wonder at times) I picked those Quik-Connects up at the DX convention last month in Visalia, Ca (10 miles away), 3 for $10. Aren't the best quality, as abit sloppy, but they still work fine. Male goes into 3/8"x24 thread on mount, and the female goes on the antennas. Actually, I have 1 spare male left.
Also read my thread "Novel MH Mount" that I placed today here on the forum.
