dial up 135 mhz and see if that helps. Particularly in AM mode.
I too send pole 3's box #s when I experience interference.
And, when your local utility realizes that you are on the level with
them re RFI, the next time you make a complaint you will not be looked
at as a whiner or sniveler.

You mentioned an FT-817, have you checked on higher bands?
My Kenwood TH-F6A VHF/UHF talkie and Kenwood TM-D71A both have RX
capability outside the ham bands, and both can be set for AM
detection. Lately I've been bothered by noise that I suspect is coming
from power lines, so I've programmed a half dozen memories inboth of
those radios for AM detection at 160 MHz, 300 MHz, 400 MHz, and 524
MHz (chosen because that's where the high sensitivity mode in one of
the radios falls off).
I've been driving around listening on 160 MHz, then when that noise
gets loud, switching to increasingly higher frequencies to tell me
when I'm close to the source. Now I have a pole number and address to
give PG&E's RFI guy. It's 0.6 miles from my shack, and lines its noise
is conducted onto are closer.
