Hi Phil,
Your going to have to track it down yourself and take them to it.
They have to work with you.
That is f.c.c regulations.
The more hell you raze with them the more you will get done.
You just have to deside your not going to back down.
I had a very hard run with Aliant Energy over power line noise in the 
late 90's when i mooved to Ellendale, Mn.
They  just didn't want to do anything but i just stayed on them until 
they  finally had to do it.
It took several years but it has payed off.
It would take to big of an email to tell the hole story.
So get on them you     deserve  to be able enjoy ham radio.
Who knows it could become very important to help with some emergency 
some time to.
Thanks 73 Matt ka0pqw
