My attention has just been drawn to the articles by Ron Block KB2UYT in
QST June - August 2002 in which he says that the tower should be at
least 25ft from the house to reduce magnetic coupling between the tower
and the house wiring in the case of a lightning strike.
Is this good advice? Would it be disastrous to locate the tower only,
say, 10ft from the house?

I certainly hope not. Mine is going to be closer than that,
maybe 6 feet. Otherwise, my OptiBeam 4-40 will cross
property lines. Busybody neighbor will be watching every
move, especially since she is expecting a crank up. Now
it is going to be a fixed height job.
