While taxiing to the avionics shop at Frederick; I encountered a tractor trailer that was parked diagonally in front of the hangar.  As I swung right to clear the tractor trailer; my right wing tip hit a power line stabilization cable on the ramp.  If I was not fixated on clearing the tractor trailer and been aware of the cable the incident could have been avoided.  I was told after the fact that the cable has been hit before by aircraft.  My suggestion would be to relocate the power line away from the ramp where aircraft move.
The reporter described the precise location of the power pole and guy wire off aviation Way.
General aviation pilot reports contacting a power pole guy wire with his right wingtip while attempting to taxi around a tractor trailer rig parked on the ramp. The pole is just off Aviation Way at an access road to the ramp. The coordinates are 39 24' 56' N 77 22' 49.37' W.
