I Guys, I know how frustrating this can be. I had the same problem with a power 
line this last summer. You can have  noise miles away off of a power line on the 
HF bands. 

Most utility company's have a department to track down RFI interference. They 
have equipment that will track it down to the insulator or bolt on a pole.
Most PLC's  Powerline Comminication  have been installed for many years. Most 
PLC's are on mayor power lines and not on a normal over head line that is in the 
Neighborhood. Plus they only send a TX signal for Blocking and or Tripping. 

I understand if you have Internet over power lines, this can be a big problem.

Call you utility company, they can help clean it up.
