Hi Alan,
Further is ALWAYS better...but there are QTHs where this
isn't possible! ROHN for instance has HOUSE brackets for
their tower...One doesn't strap those babies to trees! HI HI..
My tower is 3 feet from my bedroom wall and I have had
DIRECT hits on the tower and nothing adverse to the home
wiring...
Good Luck!
