AEP
Equipment perhaps, knowledge, no way.

Did/have they legitimately tried, absolutely,
over the last 3-4 years, many times.

Any successes?
They have fixed many insulators, even a transformer,
spent lots of maney, all of which,
using their RF Engineers MODEL M330

Mini RFI Locator operating at 320-340 MHZ
appeared to be viable noise sources in need of fixing!
(all within a 1/2 block of my apartment)

Unfortunately none were the noise source that causes my problem(s).

They are as frustrated as I am,
after spending 2 hours shutting down circuits near me
and a close substation and it's feeders
(distribution lines? not sure the proper term.)
They are at a loss, they have said they are clueless and can do no more.
Unless I can find it and point them at it!

I wish I could get AEP to actually raise a bucket truck up level with my 
antennas on the apartment roof, use something at HF rather than VHF/UHF and then 
look around in a 360 degree circle to see what they might find as a direction 
for a starting point, rather than using their model M330 at ground level and 
320-340 MHZ to look within a block area. Did finally get them to expand it to 2 
blocks last time they tried. :-/
