[RFI] RFI, Power Company.

[dalej]

The electric company that supplies electricity to our area, (Xcel Energy) has been very responsive.  They have a number to call with *noise* complaints and depending on *prioritized work load* they respond quickly.  I usually go out with my portable receiver to try and find the possible *noise* source before calling.  When they come out I invite them in to my shack to hear the *noise*, then walk the lines along with the tech from the power company.  We have a very good working relationship.  I give them high marks.  We, as a *team* have been 100 percent finding and repairing the *noise* sources and I might add, finding potential pole fires and deteriorating poles that need replacement.
