If it's only a 1" limb, why not simply trim off the branch.  At that height, 
cutting off a 1" dia branch is unlikely to damage the health or appearance 
of the tree.

At high power, I have heard of antennas brushing against tree branches and 
setting them on fire!

If you can't reach the branch, I have seen pruning shears that mount on the 
end of a long pole, made just for that job.  They are probably available at 
tool rentals.
