I have recently been plagued with RF noise, which sounds like a 60 Hz buzz
with clicks superimposed.  It is worst from 5 to 8 MHz, and is bothersome
from about 2 to 14 MHz.  It is intermittent, but seems to be around
80% of the time.

I walked around my neighborhood with a receiver today and discovered
that it extends at least 4 or 5 houses in each direction on the street.
The noise level varied as I walked down the street.  If placed my radio
against a street light pole (we have underground power here), the noise
was much stronger.

I would like to make this noise go away.  Can I expect any help from
the power company or the FCC in tracking it down?  Any ideas would
be appreciated.
