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.
