Brett: Ouch!! We have some power lines near our field, but near is relative. They are about, oh, a half mile or so away. We keep well clear of them.

There was a study back a few years ago about Broadband over Power Lines. The power companies were checking the feasibility of transmitting broadband internet data over the power lines as a means of transmission other than fiber or copper via phone lines or the cable company. I don't know where that stands out in California, you might ask that question of your local power company.

Broadband over Power Lines was looked at by the AMA as a source of interference for our systems, but 2.4 GHz was supposed to eliminate any possibility of this.

No matter, you learned something through this.. when I read your thread title, I thought you might have run into the power lines, which happens. Inteference!! Well, again, you learned something and that's to keep them well clear.
