It's already habit for me as my HF whip for 40M is around 12' already.

That brings up an interesting question. Can we be held liable if a
rover yanks down a low hanging cable or phone line or is it the
telco/cable companies fault for running it at a really low height to
begin with? Do the state laws of 13' 6" cover us? The same thing
would happen if a large delivery truck came through the neighborhood.
