All you have to do at our CoOp is call and we’ll usually call you back with a simple questionnaire that will give some hints of where and when to track the offender. 

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.
