[AFMUG] dumb pole question

[Adam Moffett]

There's a longish span with an existing phone trunk on it---probably a 
50 pair.  The power is on the other side of the road for reasons that 
nobody understands.  I would like to insert a pole in the middle of the 
existing span....I would put it in line with the existing poles in the 
ROW of course.  So I would end up with a phone line touching my pole but 
not attached to it.

I can't think of a specific reason this would be a problem, but I know a 
couple of you guys do this more often than me and  I wonder if you know 
of any reason this would be bad.
