[ADXA] Power pole ID question

[w5znjoel at gmail.com]

Hi Jussi,

 

It’s good that your local electric utility provider is at least responding to you even though their knowledge in this area is lacking.

 

You have heard from our ADXA resident expert Mark, K5OO, who is a professional in this area.

 

For my experience, I always do the leg work then provide a technical report to my electric utility, Entergy. I identified the local engineer and he has been responsive. He’s a young engineer that needed some mentoring on the issue but once that was accomplished, he was able to contact the proper Entergy group that dealt with power line interference and we got things resolved.

 

Attached is a copy of one of my reports as well as a couple of photos of pole identification markings that Entergy does use to note a pole location, at least here in my area.

Subject: [ADXA] Power pole ID question

 

Hi, 

I read online that the power company is required to have id numbers on power poles in AR. Is this correct? I can't find any numbers on the poles that are near me. I didn't check the likely offending pole yet.
