Ed,

I don't mean to be so cynical, but besides the FCC sending a letter 
to the utilities what, if anything, has been done to correct these 
problems.  I know as of June 2003 Brad Enbro N9EN was still 
having trouble nearly a year after the FCC sent a letter to 
Commonwealth Edison in Chicago.  In fact he is in the process of 
taking down his 4 towers and moving to a new location.

It would be nice to know if any of these power line problems have 
been resolved.  In fact it could be a good artile for QST.
