Hi all,
New Forum member here thinking of building a station in Worcester, UK. (There's a nice hole in the grid that needs filling! :-)
HOWEVER... My house is around 100 meters or so from overhead power lines. Have a look at British post code WR5 3TD on Google Earth. ( http://is.gd/GDyHvW )
Look carefully, and you can see the lines and a shadow of the closest pylon alongside the main road to the West of us.
I am wondering if anyone else has any similar situation and what interference they have/have not experienced. I did email Tobias, who responded as follows:
"...we don't know whether it will work. It depends on the current and voltage through the line, your antennas, gain settings and so on. It might work, but only with some lower sensitivity. You can also ask in our forum whether other users have experiences in this."
So, that is what I am doing. Does anyone have any views as to whether this will be a problem or not?
Many thanks, all.
Steve Bell.
Here's a better picture showing the location of my house and the lines.
