Becoming dead etc due to powerline contact kinda outweighs that argument a bit, as previously mentioned I have powerlines just beyond the backyard. Anything more than 25 feet at the tip will possibly contact the HV lines if it fell over. Have to work within the confines I have. The 800 watts should compensate somewhat for lack of being in the 1st wavelength. Its not a perfect scenario but between being nearish to an airport (I dont want to risk more power) and height limitations due to HV lines I'll just have to be happy with whatever I get.
