My city lot (75x145) backs up to the 100 foot wide right of way for a pair of
125KV lines, on 125 foot towers,
that runs North-South. The tower to the Northwest is 225 feet from the corner
of my property and hosts an AT&T array of PCS
antennas; with the beam pointed at that pylon, my noise floor is S2 but
tolerable, but 30 degrees away from that tower, I hear none
of that cell hash.
I've NEVER heard the 125KV lines, even though on a few occasions with heavy fog
I could audibly hear some sounds of arcing.
The tower to my Southwest is 150 feet away, in a direct line to the TV towers
at Cedar Hill, 20 miles away, and back when I had a
rotatable TV antenna, I had to steer it about 40 degrees south of the direct
bearing to see Channel 8 and 11.
