Wow, thanks Dave for the flowers. Yep they already have the link to the webpage but I will send it too them again when I do the email for the repair request. From past fixes they know me and where i live, lol. Now that I am retired I don't mind this side hobby as much as I use too. I have them a map of where the pole is located prepared but will send them a pic of the  pole number too.

Thanks,
Chuck

Absolutely excellent report and technique.  This should go into the files section as an example of how to go about this business.  Well done! Excellent report and documentation.  Email this to your power provider with a picture on the pole number.  Every pole has a number.

    Last night I tried my digital camera and binoculars. I could see the
    arc's with binoculars! Looks like ground and neutral wires are to
    close
    to other hardware. The digital camera captured one arc but was so
    dark
    could not see the pole. Anyone ever use a night vision camera like
    used
    for hunting etc for this?

    Great group here. Thanks for everyone's help!
