[Hallicrafters] Tower height

[Bill Gerhold]

Depends on terrain, neighborhood but mostly voltage level.  A typical tower
on flat terrain with little to no vegetation or homeowners at about 150kv
would be about 50' or less.  Going over buildings, trees in the are (not
under it) and a generally populated neighborhood, 100-200 feet.

Subject: [Hallicrafters] Tower height

I've been wondering...
Last weekend I help a friend erect a 60 foot metal tower which looks 
pretty tall once it is up.
I got to thinking - what is the height of the taller wooden power poles 
I see on high voltage systems?
