Where I lived in rural Arizona, access to some home sites was the cleared area under power lines. When under the lines, you had no way to listen to your radio, It was just nonstop static. All of the electrical energy was not contained in the wires. Likewise on the NJ Turnpike heading north towards NYC. A large electrical station was close to the road, Hello static, goodbye music.

The noise from the static did not bother me. I just hated the electrical bombardment, If my radio gettiing hit, my body did too,

I've been told its save, but is it? How close are you? What does a car radio say?
