Hello, and if there's an interference problem it wouldn't be with the
transformer per se. What should be of concern is leaky/cracked MV
(12-14 kV) insulators (or higher voltages if you're near a substation).
Discharges around insulators spew both radiated and conducted noise
all over the MF and HF bands. Sincerely, and 73s from N4GG0,
Yes, that is what I am worried about, is RF leakage. I think probably the best bet is to try out an antenna before permanantly erecting the tower with a concrete base.

What kind of antenna system can I obtain retail, that would provide the absolute best reception using only a 30 foot tower?
