Private pilot of a beech bonanza, BE35, reports that a state transmission tower on the southeast side of the airport creates a safety hazard to aircraft due its location in relationship to the runway. When landing to the north with a strong cross wind, aircraft may drift over into it, or when taking off to the south and turning after takeoff out to the east, they may climb into it.

Narrative:
Landing on runway 35 at etn, tx. Tower is very close to runway 35 and is a factor on landing and takeoffs on runway 17. Turn out to the east I feel could be a factor on landing runway 35 if a strong cross wind existed. And could be a major factor in turn out to east on takeoff on runway 17.
