My 40' rotatable mast is about 80' away from 230Kv and 550Kv power lines.  Normally, that are as quiet as a church mouse.


However, when it snows, rains, or is misty out, HF is useless to me.  I just go play guitar on those days.

We are looking at a house in the Northeast that abuts a utility easement

Should I pass on the property?  The HF towers would be <500’ from the
wires. Given the 4 seasons, ice, humidity, etc.  is this doomed to failure
by its very proximity?
