[OT] Question about power lines

[alorona]

One leg of a horizontal antenna has to, unfortunately, run parallel to the power lines at the back of a city lot. Will there be more pickup of electrical noise if that leg has a current maximum, or a current minimum on it, along the portion of the antenna closest to the power lines?

You can e-mail me privately to keep traffic down.

Thanks,


Al  W6LX

Al,

When transmitting, the current node does the 'work,' so I'd say it also does
the main receiving job. But the difference in your situation might be small.

Good luck & 73,

It probably doesn't matter Al, the lines are likely in your antennas near field and thus coupled. Maybe they will enhance the radiation of some of your RF. [:-)

If primary power line carrying noise, you are gonna pick it up well with parallel wire antenna.   Maybe less intense if grounded quarter wave vs. self-resonant ungrounded half wave?
