I have a major cell building with antennas on the 125 foot pylons
that are located 420 feet to the Northwest, and as the antenna
swings thru that azimuth there is switching noise that adds 5-10db
for about 25 degrees either side.

I'm wondering if a Cell telephone tower in the nearby vicinity (perhaps
within a mile) would be considered an interference problem for a
ham...especially one who operates mostly below 30mhz?

Would seem to me to not be an issue, but then I'm only guessing.

Thanks
