Re: [IRCA] OT tracking electrical leaks

["Ira Elbert New, III" <ien3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Speaking of electricity...

We have buried power lines here in our subdivision. I don't know how far 
down they are, but I know where they are. My question is...how big is the 
electrical field the buried line emits? Could I put an antenna over it or 
near it? Does anyone know? Thanks for the help.
