Ok.. I have a problem I hope you can help with.  Below is a diagram of my 
property.  If it doesn't show up right, then it's basically a rectangle 
property with about 150 ft deep by 75 feet.  The problem is, that I have the 
wire that feeds my house with electricity coming right through the middle of 
my back yard.  I have a 40 ft mast on the south side of the wire.  I have a 
G5RV running just south of that wire from a tree in my front yard (X) to a 
tree in my back yard (X).  I would like to put up more wire antennas and 
another mast or tower.  I would like to take advantage of my existing mast 
and a lot of land I have open to the north of the wire.

I guess my question is: Is there any way to take full advantage of my large 
lot with more wire antennas without crossing the electrical wire?

What about a tower? a rohn 25 is about all I could afford...  Or another 
mast?  Guy wires would have to cross the electrical wire...

The electrical wire is insulated... Am I being too cautions about this??

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and ideas.
