Hey everyone -

I have the chance to stay in my trailer at a rural property some of
this year. I checked the place out. Zero RF between 800 mhz to 6.0
ghz on Gigahertz Solutions RF meters. Nada. Great!

Only thing is, looming in the distance are massive high voltage power
lines. You know the ones, on the huge metal scaffolds, aka, "pylons"
in the UK, the kind that will spike a Trifield meter's Magnetic and
Electric readings off the chart when you drive under them.

In fact, they cross the back field of the property. Now, the part I
could be staying on is (by our guesstimate) about 450 or more meters
away from the power lines. (It's a large farm property).

I could not pick up even a whisper of electric or magnetic field on
the Trifield 100 XE meter at that distance. I trudged through knee
deep snow til I could walk no more, and I guessed to be 100 meters
away from the power lines - still nothing on the Trifield meter. This
is probably the closest to them I'd have any reason to be.

So, apart from the fact that they look hideous and imposing, being so
tall and high up in the distance, do you think I have anything to
worry about? I mean, I can pick up more EMF from residential
powerlines on the meter by walking down the sidewalk...

No matter, I'd like to hear what you think.

Oh - the landowner said that they're planning to add another corridor
of power lines just like these ones across from them at some unknown
date in the future - mind you, these would be farther, rather than
closer, to the property, but still, it's one more thing to consider.

Anyway, thoughts are, as always, appreciated.

Thanks!

R.
