 Kenny, 

Did you whip out your VHF and UHF beams with an AM rx
mode receiver once close to the suspect poles? That is the
only way, and it is a conclusive way, that I have found to ID 
noisy power poles once the HF DF loop gets you in the
area of the noise source.

 KC4D,N3AC and N3CW went hunting with a KX3 and a DX Engineering Amplified RX 
loop and again didn’t find anything conclusive. Basically they said the loop 
performed about the same as one of the AM radios we have that’s fairly 
directional. 

We’ve been looking so many times that we’re getting frustrated.  There are a 
few noisy clusters, but we can’t find a specific pole or house.  Nor can we 
assess if the noisy areas are actually the key offender(s)

Do we call in the clusters we found ?  Or do we really need to pinpoint the 
source(s) better before we ask for crews to come out?  We’re concerned about 
crying wolf and/or giving a list of more than a dozen poles for the power 
company to look at.

P.S.  the only success so far is fixing my subject line typo 🤓
