To qualify as a SMALL BASE STATION, the height limitation applies
and they can transmit with no more than 5W ERP...regular base
stations (and repeaters) are limited to 50W power output (not ERP)
and no height restrictions (other limitations apply as well such as
frequency stability).

original poster needs to know what he can and can't do in order to
make responsible equipment purchase/installation decisions)
