I have a place that is about 1000 feet from power line. I have solar power.  No AC. On some phones I get a 60 hz hum.  That is with no inverter on. Absolutely no AC.  Could hum be picked up from power line 1000 feet away?

Well, I'm definitely *not* a genius, but:

I've been with people on dark nights under high tension power lines where if you hold up a 
fluorescent light bulb, it will glow.

Its entirely possible that you are receiving radiation from these power lines.

BTW: How do you run a Hammond then?
