There is also a difference between the high voltage and the secondary distribution voltage. There can be nasty transients on the power lines that radiate quite a distance. If you are near those you might see the effects such as resets, etc. Good grounding and shielding... -- A is A

We have mounted Satellite arms on our own lift poles right next to secondary service (240v) without any problems. If the wire is covered, it's more than likely =277/480 Anything not covered with insulation is more than likely primary at 7.2kv on up.

If there are bad effects resetting the radios, it is probably magnetically induced common mode voltage. At 150 ft the effect should be negligible. HV lines do not radiate much beyond 50 MHz.
