Having faced this problem in the past the only real solution is to put
the service feed underground everything is a comprimise of antenna or
safety.

| 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.
