Why just ''high voltage'' power lines? I'd avoid all power lines.

Hard to do inside a house with power lines. :-)
Dunno about that. I have a friend with a cabin that is miles away
from any power lines - he uses solar power. Of course, he made up for
the rf-quiet location by using noisy flourescent fixtures - you
guessed it, radio is not his hobby.

I agree with the other poster who suggested taking a radio to do radio
surveys of the area. Even though a place might seem like it should be
RF-quiet that is not necessarily the case.

I have compact fluorescents in every socket in my house (except in the
stove and refrigerator). They do not make enough noise to raise the
floor. Once in a while you'll get a ''buzzer'' but not very often.

Yes, if you carefully shop and have the newer models. These were put
in over 10 years ago and chosen for economy. Have also found that the
major source of noise is the charge controller he used - getting to a
point of me offering to upgrade his system so I can better enjoy radio
when I visit. The solar stuff works well, and yes flourescents also -
just have to put a little effort into choosing what you use.
