[TowerTalk] High-Tension Wires

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

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.

73, Pete N4ZR
