[Lowfer] Active Whips and Rubber Sheets

In my case, the front yard, near the house and powerlines are the only
tall trees left on the property. The tallest one is also at about the 40 
foot level.

The back yard is free of any trees over about 8 feet tall. The tallest point
in the back are the two masts that support the flattop. One of these
masts is also attached to the house (and it's noise). While
the other one is 70 feet away. I just assumed that mast would
be the best spot.

I do like the idea of just throwing a rope over the highest tree in the 
front yard
and pulling the active whip up there. But that tree is right above the 
electrical
lead in to the house and only about 20 feet away from the neighborhood 
power lines.
What do you think?
