Good point.
Steve, can we get the pages that list FCC letters updated relatively quickly? I
suggest we do so in reverse chronological order, rather than alphabetical
order, or even maintain two lists. Most utilities have come to understand that
their belief that the FCC is a paper tiger was incorrect, but a few (and a few
hams) still think that nothing will happen if they don't fix powerline noise.
We can start adding new cases and work out way back over time, then when we get
to the existing companies, we can at some point just have an alphabetical list
that says "Prior to 2010" or some such.

Subject: RE: [RFI] Solar Panel RFI Awareness At Dayton
Ed,
Just curious if it is possible for a couple of ARRL web pages that list FCC RFI
letters and actions to be updated?
There is one web page for Part 15 devices (non-power-lines), and one to
utilities for powerline RFI.
Neither appear to have been updated in the last 9 or 10 years. I am hesitant
to share these links to utility management or neighbors of hams who have RFI
source devices because it gives the appearance the FCC no longer takes any
action on RFI complaints over the last 10 year.
Part 15 RFI letters page:
http://www.arrl.org/fcc-part-15-enforcement-actions
Utility powerline RFI letters page:
http://www.arrl.org/fcc-enforcement-activities-and-the-electric-utility-industry
Here's the page that has the 2 above links:
http://www.arrl.org/fcc-enforcement-1
There are a couple other FCC site links for more recent Enforcement Bureau
actions not related to RFI but other rules violations only.
It would be helpful to post if there are other links out there I am missing
that has more recent up-to-date FCC letters for examples.

That ideal scenario has never been the norm, at least not in my decades of
experience. Even before the field-office shutdowns, getting FCC field staff out
on amateur cases has never been anything but the rare exception. Things are
actually better now because of the informal process ARRL has worked out with
FCC staff to allow it to use the resources FCC can direct towards amateur radio
effectively.
