[RFI] Crepe Myrtle growing into power pole RFI Why?

[K9MA]

I have, back before they increased the voltage to 14 kV. The noise correlated well with branches swaying in the wind.  When I finally got the utility to trim the trees, the noise level went way down. 

At 14 kV, it seems that any contact with vegetation gets their attention immediately.
