Frequency (MHz) Nearest Minimum Distance From Current Maximum (feet)
less than 3 9.84 (KP/180,000)
3 - 30 3.78 f(KP/180,00)
30 - 300 3.28 (KP/200)
300 - 1500 3.28 (3KP/2f)
greater than 1500 3.28 (KP/1000)
where;

f is the frequency in megahertz

P is the ERP in watts

K equals 7.96

In addition, the minimum separation from any radiating part of the antenna shall be of the above minimum separation from the nearest current maximum.
