[Elecraft] [OT] Ham Radio near high voltage power lines?

Probably more RFI will come from neighboring homes but it's easy to  
check with a receiver before installing your tower. If there is noise  
from faulty power line hardware the power company will fix it.

Just moved to a new QTH and there are high voltage power lines cutting
across the corner of our property running NW direction. The house is on the
East side of the lines.

Is it reasonable to expect good operability or is it a wash? I don't want to
go through the troubles if I'll just be frustrated.

Was looking to do a 60' tower for the high bands (I'll still be below the
lines height wise), multiband vertical (low bands 80/40/30) , and
dipole(80/40).

Vertical is planned to have 60 or more radials.



Thanks in advance.
