The lines have not interfered with our signals.
That's good to know tacx. I've not been able to go to the field to do a test due to the rain and wind but I suspected there would not be a problem. As I stated above, the power lines will be behind us at least 200'. At no time can I imagine we will ever fly anywhere near them except if the plane was out of control.
