Wireless Bridge / Hydro Lines

Hi there. I am going to be setting up a wireless bridge between 2
Linksys WAP11's between 2 buildings using 13db directional panel
antenna's. My question is, these buildings are across the street from
each other, the distance is about 300 feet or so; but there are hydro
lines running down the street that will be right in between the two
AP's. Should I have to worry about any interference from these lines,
or do you think it will be ok? We're not talking huge hydro towers,
just regular residental hydro lines running on standard hydro poles.

Any help would be appreciated!

The hydro lines run at 60 Hz, though there may be higher frequency
signalling on them. 802.11b runs at 2.4 GHz or about 400 million times the
frequency. This means you're not likely to have interference from those
power lines.

Correction: That should be 40 million times. That's still somewhat higher
than 60 Hz. ;-)

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. It's a wonder I have not fried
myself doing electical work in my house with my extemely limited
knowledge of it.
