I can add my own story to Tom's. In my case, I had a high-tension line
about a mile south of me at my last QTH, in central NY. I could always
find an increase in the noise floor from it.
Perhaps some *are* cleaner than others -- but I've never seen any signs
on the tower legs saying which ones were the "clean" ones....
