Hi Goldenhorn
Directly under power lines 11"DD in cancel
Close to power lines 11"DD in 'DD' setting with reduced Rx
30+meters you can try a mono and adjust RX to suit.

Hi Golden
Underground might be a problem,just make sure you have the DD in cancel then.

What type of telecommunication line is it? If if it's fibre, you shouldn't have any issues at all. It's just glass and light, sheilded in plastic conduit.

Copper is another story of course.
