When should antenna height measurements be taken and observations recorded?

In field measurements, timing matters for accuracy and traceability. Antenna height measurements should be taken during the measurement process—the actual act of determining the height with the equipment in place and the antenna in its installed configuration. Observations should be recorded before starting the measurements to capture baseline conditions (such as weather, setup details, and any pre-existing issues) that provide essential context for interpreting the results. This sequence ensures the height reflects the true installed state, while the prior observations allow you to assess how conditions before measurement might have influenced the data.
