The stories I was told was that this wire was within inches (properly
insulated of course) of the low voltage lines (in the ballpart of 14kV) and
ran for miles.
In this type of configuration, a loop would not pose any problem whatsoever
given the return wire was on the ground somewhere relatively far from the
other line.
Of course, as Jim Lux stated, mathematically it just doesn't work out, so
its most likely just an ole wives tale.  Especially since if someone is
going to run through the trouble
to run a line within inches of the power line, they might as well just tap
right into it.
