The local Coop power company is pretty good actually. I am not sure
that my issues are even power pole related yet. We did have a very
noisy pole about 1.5 miles away that it took Excel Energy, the big power
company in Colorado to fix. A closer ham worked hard on them. That
noise was directly at EU from my place. Glad it is gone!

Mike,
Understand that the dish helps zero in on the specific piece of the
system that's arcing. But that's the power company's job, and by
identifying the pole or the immediate area where the problem is,
they'll find it. And doing their work for them is unlikely to get it
fixed any faster. Indeed, power companies are fairly willing to come
out and troubleshoot a problem if they think it might be dangerous or
indicate equipment failure that could lead to a system event. But
getting it fixed can be a very different matter, because the working
groups and managers responsible for do that are often rewarded for
using less of their annual budgets, so if it isn't judged likely to
cause any problem other than in your radio, it's very unlikely that it
will be fixed.
