Ken, 

Have you checked with your local ham clubs to see if they have any members who are also licensed electricians?

Keep contacting the FCC by phone and letters.  They apparently do eventually send out warning letters to owners of RFI/EMI emitting equipment even to businesses and home owners.

Subject: [RFI] A request for RFI service.

Does anyone know of a professional company who does RFI mitigation?

That is, a company that another company could call to come to fix an RFI 
issue?

I have a pharmacy nearby whose "Pharmacy Open" sign, a neon one, causes 
severe RFI interference to my station.

An RFI investigator from our local power company absolutely 100% 
identified the source.

Turning off the sign drops my noise level by 15 dB. The store is around 3 
blocks away.

I contacted the pharmacy, talked with the manager, told her what the 
problem was, and who had found the source, and asked her to get it fixed.

She called the original installer, who came out, looked at it, and told 
her it was all right.

I then filed a complaint with the FCC.

The manager then told me that she knew of no one who was capable of 
fixing the sign, and although I could do it myself, I won't due to 
liability issues.

So, does anyone know of a company which offers the kind of service she 
would need?
