Kenny,
I have gone after and found many 'sources' on 160, and the
last step involved resolving to the an actual specific power
pole using VHF and UHF. I have not had one case yet where
the pole was a noise maker on 160 and was quiet on VHF
and UHF.
Case example:

UHF beam (forgive the wind' sometimes one has to track
these things down in adverse conditions):

The noise is mainly on 160. Slight to no noise on 80/40, and no detection at
AM VHF.

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 🤓
