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

[Steve London]

As a member of the local volunteer fire department, I can tell you we have been 
called out for arcs. The call out was "pole on fire". You should do the same 
with the power company if they are less than responsive.

73,
Steve, N2IC
