Hi,

Assuming your Power company is responsible, (most are), they will get right on something like that.

You might couple your audio, and S-Meter video to your video of the sparks, showing the spark, the S-Meter jump, and the audio all at the same instant.

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!
