PLI Powerline QRN on 2m from Integral Energy Powerpole

[combatwombat71]

Integral Energy, the pole owner, refuse to do anything about the interference stating it is not their problem. I have taken the matter up with the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) Radio Inspector as of today 21 June 2010.

I have the number of who I need to speak to at the power company, but for 2 days now, the number just rings to an answerphone. Have left a message but no reply yet. I will keep trying them. In the meantime, I still have the PLI QRN.

16/06/10 - The pole has been identified using an 8ele 70cm handheld yagi and Yaesu handheld (on AM), and the pole ID number noted. I will call the electricity people tomorrow, and provide updates via comments here on how/if/when the problem gets solved.
