I think the pylons are very much ON topic, remembering
how much noise was received on my car radio as I passed underneath the pylons
across the A2 at Gravesend in the days when we listened to the medium wave band
rather than FM. Fortunately they are often sited in valleys (glens), for visual
reasons, but they will still illuminate the ionosphere.

Hi all,
Off topic I know, but whatever about magnetic
effects, I agree with Mal when it comes to the appearance of these things.
They are gradually ruining the best countryside in the UK. Mind you, the
national grid pylons are not much better, would have been well worth
the extra cost to bury the cables in my opinion.
One of the
IET's predecessor institutions reported it would cost 7 to 22 times as much to
install a grid link undergroud instead of using pylons. By all means do
it, but remember it will cost.
