Certainly I can. And you can too if you like.

For example, try getting the FCC to shut down a 500 KV power
transmission line because it's interfering with your ham radio
communications. This has been tried and the FCC's response is "That
would not be in the public interest". This actually happened.

A clear violation of the rules, but he who makes the rules can also
violate the rules.

And the word is spelled "scenario", DumbGuy.

Well lets look at the case sited. 500KV Powerline is not in and of it
self a Licensed User. Their emmissions come under Part15, and what
"Proof" was submitted to the FCC that the PowerLine was the cause?
Power Companies, in general, are required to maintain their systems
so as to eliminate emissions, when they interfere with Licensed Radio
Services. They are required to replace insulators that are bearking
down and flashing over causing radiated emissions. These type of
issues are handled by the FCC every day, and I have PERSONALLY dealt
with this type of regulatory issue, many times, just like the neighbors
Fish Tank Heater causing Pink Noise from 10Khz on up to 25Mhz. There are
Case Files where the Commission has levied fines to Power Companies for
not replacing failed Insulators that caused MF/HF Interference. One of
the best ones, I remember, was a regional Power Company was issued a
$10K Notice of Forfiture for repeated failure to eliminate interference
from a line that passed a USCG MF/HF CommSta, after repeated Notices of
Violation. The CEO was named in the Notice, Personally, and he was given
10 days to reply, and if he didn't the Federal Marshal would be knocking
on his door, with a Warrent, signed by the local US District Attorny.
That got the CEO's attention and the insulators were repaired in
quick time. No more interference. USCG Base Commanders bloodpressure
returned to normal, and his mumbled threat to shoot every bad insulator,
was completly forgotten.
Billyboy, you seem to have issues with Federal Regulators that go far
beyond the scope of this news group. They have medication, that is
helpful in such situations. Have you looked into this for your Health?
