Guessing will also ruin your relationship with the local Power Company as well, not just for you, but in a lot of cases for ALL hams in your area...  So do be careful...

You would still have to find which residents or business it's in. My suggestion would be to either go mobile or on foot, preferably on foot listening to the frequency that you know the problem affects. once you locate the residents then go through the breaker scenario and locate what the source is. Be 100% certain of the structure or home that the problem is in before knocking on the door. The last thing you want to do is start guessing. Guessing we'll ruin the relationship with your neighbors.
