[RFI] Power Line Noise

[bill ny9h]

if they are a small utility maybe they would be pressured by a nice ARRL 
packet of information.

When I had trouble back in Illinois, ComED totally ignored letters from 
the ARRL & the FCC. An ComEd executive office assistant told me on the 
phone ComED ONLY cares about the ICC Illinois Commerce Commission.  She 
told me to call them with my documentation and she assured me that  I 
would get a call the NEXT day back from COMeED ...even the same office 
she was in!!!! She saw my file requesting help. had empathy...

three big trucks showed up the next day with 4 or 5 crew looking for a 
power outage ,,, they got the word  ,,,wrong word !!!!!

But maybe they are small enough to looks at STUFF from the arrl..

After being nice ,go to the regulatory body,,,,   as the ComEd lady told 
me  "" THEY CONTROL OUR PRICE INCREASES,,,, ""
