[RFI] I could see the arcs with binoculars last night!

[Charles Plunk]

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
