[SADXA] Powerline interference

[Gene Spinelli]

I sent a letter to the TEP CEO 2 weeks ago about significant RFI emanating from their equipment.

Last Thursday I received calls from the TEP corporate office and from their customer advocate.

They said an engineering study will be conducted and I will be kept in the loop, I have the contact information of the people I spoke with.

My letter was non technical, short and ended with if I don’t hear back by April 24th I’ll write to the FCC and Arizona Corporation Commission.

I am Trico customer. Trico helped with the problem source identification.

Write to the CEO, certified letter..

Cheers,
GS K5GS

This isn't new, they essentially told me this back in the 1980's and the guy telling me was a ham who I regularly talked to on the air, although on the telephone he never mentioned his identity.  I learned that later.  I wound up ambushing the CEO at a public meeting and asking pointed questions, which of course he couldn't answer.  But I did get some help.

TEP appears to have dismantled Gary’s special SUV filled with RFI locating equipment. The “technician”  that came to my location was using a car radio, I think. Does anyone know what it going on? The TEP people are very nice, but results also help.
