Within 1 day of contacting Steve Anderson, W1EMI, he wrote a letter to the CEO of RG&E asking for assistance in resolving my power line RFI issues.

Luckily my efforts to locate the source and contacting RG&E myself?have probably helped move this along quickly.

The bad news is the problem has become more intermittent, possibly affected by humidity and other wx factors.? It hasn't been on full blast for a few days, but at night I notice spikes of noise on the higher bands.? It seems that there is some arcing but not enough to be self-sustaining.? I'm hoping this isn't something that will have to wait until next winter to be resolved.

I have a copy of the letter, it is probably a fairly standard one they send out, explaining the issue, with my name and address as a contact, along with ARRL and W1EMI's contact info.? A copy was also sent to the FCC.? So it probably will get to the right people and prioritized a bit higher than it has so far.

With my 137Mhz yagi, attenuator, ultrasonic dish, and RFI mapper setup, and contacts with W4DD and W1EMI at ARRL, I guess I'm now a power line noise RFI subject matter expert.? Probably not an expert, but well versed in the topic.
