[Elecraft] power line question [WOT]

[N2BC]

I guess I'm in a grumpy mood, but this tread needs a "WOT" header - WAY Off
Topic.   
At least I can't see any Elecraft connection.
Bye,  Bill  N2BC

The service entrance from the pole pig to your meter [and the meter] are the
property of the utility, and they have an implied easement for it because
you wanted electricity and pay your bill.  How they run it is their choice.
They might bury the lines for you, get your checkbook out.  We're on Pacific
Gas and Electric and they've flatly refused for some of our neighbors.
Maybe SCE is more people friendly, but good luck, it's not likely one of the
many priorities [like maybe San Onofre?].
