[Elecraft] Fwd: OT: K3 and High Tension Wires

[Alan]

The 6 meter moonbouncer who lives up the hill from me told me he has no 
problem from the high-tension line that runs right by his place but has 
experienced noise from the lower-voltage lines farther down the hill.

I suspect that HT lines are probably less likely to have arcing than 
lower-voltage lines, simply because it would be a much bigger problem 
for the power company if they did.
