Jim,
Your statement is sort of true when referring to all possible sources of RFI
out there today.
But since I was addressing only power line noise sources and not all of the
non-powerline sources, I stand by my statement that the age of distribution
lines can indeed be found to be a major factor increasing the number of RFI
sources generated by the gap sparking on older power lines. This can and does
make it more difficult to locate the specific noise causing RFI to a ham radio
station.

You're correct that there are likely hundreds of noise sources causing us
interference. But the age and nature of the power company's distribution lines
is NOT a primary factor.
The power company has NOTHING to do with any of this.
