Default power lines and radio signals

I could be wrong but I always thought that high voltage lines radiated some degree of magnetic field. Some years ago a friend lost a plane after flying over and then dipping behind high power lines, i.e. the power lines were then between the transmitter and the receiver. In my opinion, it is just far better to stay away from high voltage power lines at all times.
Your RIGHT,
I can't fly from one farm because there are hi voltage lines near by.
All I have to do is run my finger lightly along the hood and I can feel the fuzzy feeling in my finger tips.
I placed the plane on the ground and turned on the RX and TX and the servos were going nuts.
Why anyone would even think of flying near power lines is beyond me.
