Ok.. I have a problem I hope you can help with. Below is a diagram of my
property. If it doesn't show up right, then it's basically a rectangle
property with about 150 ft deep by 75 feet. The problem is, that I have the
wire that feeds my house with electricity coming right through the middle of
my back yard. I have a 40 ft mast on the south side of the wire. I have a
G5RV running just south of that wire from a tree in my front yard (X) to a
tree in my back yard (X). I would like to put up more wire antennas and
another mast or tower. I would like to take advantage of my existing mast
and a lot of land I have open to the north of the wire.
I guess my question is: Is there any way to take full advantage of my large
lot with more wire antennas without crossing the electrical wire?
What about a tower? a rohn 25 is about all I could afford... Or another
mast? Guy wires would have to cross the electrical wire...
The electrical wire is insulated... Am I being too cautions about this??
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and ideas.
