Well, I live in rural area and most lines are not accessible to me. So, 
I could only point them to certain areas and after that they are on 
their own. I am pretty sure that most often in cases like this the 
response is that nothing found there. It is best to document everything 
carefully and present the case so that they have no other option but to 
follow through. And especially give enough evidence that it is from 
power lines and not something else (log of observations). In my case the 
ham grandfather in the background probably also helped a lot :-)

I have had two arcing power poles replaced on my property (700' away 
from my antennas). That was easy because I could tell them exactly what 
pole is causing problems. A simple phone call did the trick. When the 
problem (or problems) is far away, things get exponentially more 
difficult and time consuming.
