Hi Paul - I have the same situation, except that the HV lines are a
little closer to my antennas. In 5 years, I have had lots of line noise
problems, but all of them have involved the lower-voltage distribution
lines on the top of every power pole, which feed the transformers that
deliver our 220V. After a lot of good work by the local power company,
my neighborhood is now quite quiet.
The way this was explained to me is that the power company is very
sensitive about anything wrong with the HV lines, because it costs them
substantial money. Whatever, the results suggest that you needn't be
concerned.

We are looking at a house in the Northeast that abuts a utility easement

Should I pass on the property? The HF towers would be <500’ from the
wires. Given the 4 seasons, ice, humidity, etc. is this doomed to failure
by its very proximity?
