OK, I have a practical application.

Our new QTH property is 330 wide and 1600 feet long.  It came with a 
power line
right-of-way along one side (new 12,000 volt wires on very tall concrete 
posts I believe).

The perimeter of the property is ringed with multiple strands of 
ungrounded barbed wire
on wood posts.  We have added some additional somewhat dense pattern 
welded fencing
in portions of the property.

When I put up my 60 foot push-up pole, my 60-70 foot Rohn 25 tower, and my
long wire antennas what sort of proximity should I avoid?

Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e
