don't get too excited.... at least in Chicagoland ...
poles identified by Com Ed in March of LAST year....as needing work,,,
still need work,,,, the FCC did verify and did
contact ComEd... last July--- August..
the FCC was blown off for 6-8 months...without a response!!!!
ComEd finally in March this year came changed out
some stuff but the noise is still there. Then the
ComED engineers reverified there are still problems...
and set a fix date of SEPTEMBER 2006..another 6 months.
and that was ok with the FCC.....you know " homeland security" ....
now how can I argue with that ?????#%^$@%#@$
the clamp is only in Florida... where they don't have homeland security.
I told the local fcc I was "very disappointed with another 5 months"
told riley also !!!! It's only S9 to the east and north .....
