[RFI] Guidance on finding noise?

[AA5CT]

 Kenny, 

Did you whip out your VHF and UHF beams with an AM rx
mode receiver once close to the suspect poles? That is the
only way, and it is a conclusive way, that I have found to ID 
noisy power poles once the HF DF loop gets you in the
area of the noise source.

 KC4D,N3AC and N3CW went hunting with a KX3 and a DX Engineering Amplified RX loop and again didn’t find anything conclusive. Basically they said the loop performed about the same as one of the AM radios we have that’s fairly directional. 

We’ve been looking so many times that we’re getting frustrated.  There are a few noisy clusters, but we can’t find a specific pole or house.  Nor can we assess if the noisy areas are actually the key offender(s)

Do we call in the clusters we found ?  Or do we really need to pinpoint the source(s) better before we ask for crews to come out?  We’re concerned about crying wolf and/or giving a list of more than a dozen poles for the power company to look at.

P.S.  the only success so far is fixing my subject line typo 🤓
