Hi everbody.
I have, for a while, been looking for a new QTH. Now I might have found it,
but there is one concern:
About 400 feet from the property there is a power line (maybe 16kV). The QTH
is on a hill, causing the power lines to be almost the same altitude as the
house. This means that a tower of 60 ft would make the antennas about 400 ft
from, and 60 feet ABOVE the power lines.
Anyone with experience on beeing so close to a power line? What noise level
can I expect? Are any band more exposed to this noise than other? I plan on
monobanders for 10 to 40 meter, and wires for 80/160 meter.
The lines are in South/South-West direction; can I expect other directions
to be influenced?
Will radiation angels be influenced?
I don't have too much experience in this field, so all comments will be
appreciated!
