I notified the utility on Sunday evening. They come out today and did the work. I will be updating the website below as I got a chance. After such a long time I am hesitant to believe its fixed until listening for about a month but it sure appears to be fixed. I am not hearing a peep of the same noise.

I have 2 doublets and a 6BTV vertical on HF, a 4 el 6m beam, and some 2m beams and am hearing some noise on some bands on one and other noise on the other bands on the other but nothing like the intensity of the 120hz noise I was hearing on all of them. I am probably hearing these noises now since they were masked by the other far more stronger noise. At any rate these pale in comparison to the other and go away for the most part at night as the humidity rises. Will chase them as I get time. They may not even be 120hz.

At any rate I am happy happy right now!

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!
