The only thing I like my long antenna for is an early warning system. That antenna is just a couple of inches taller than my cab. So if my antenna hits, my cab is close.
You should see the door jamb of my 7 foot door. It used to be aluminum cladded. Had all the dimple marks from the antenna brushing the door rubber seal on the bottom, then TWANG, thwacks the door jamb. Looks like someone took 100 BB shots to the top part.
When I had my house resided, I put up vinyl door jambs. Hardly a mark on those. Pretty tough stuff.
