Sam:
He's saying that, in his experience with his company's facilities, wet
weather has a tendency to wash the insulator skirts clean of the dirt that
forms the basis for the arc tracks that could generate RF noise. If the
noise is still there in wet weather, it's not likely to be a simple dirty
insulator. It could be a loose or rusted piece of energized equipment, or,
as your power company contact claims, it could be something totally foreign
to the utility.
Let him do his job next week, but follow up with him so you can let us
all know what the source of your noise was.
