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. GL John KK9A ae4pb wrote: Just moved to a new QTH and there are high voltage power lines

Fascinating walk through the past. I took mechanical drawing in my freshman year. Our high school was 4 years and no junior high. Mechanical drawing was by far my favorite class. I learned a lot about dimensions, angles, areas - basic geometry. It made math make sense. My first novice station
