[RFI] UV vs IR binoculars for arc's on utility poles

[KD7JYK DM09]

Thinking back to the hydrogen fire cameras that started becoming common 
on the surplus market in the late 90's, I thought I'd look them up on 
the evil auction site.  With 17,000+ responses, I didn't dig too far, 
but for the cost of a few coffees at starbucks, IR/UV cameras have 
flooded the market.  I thought the IR only at $299 at Home depot had 
promise, but both extreme ends of the spectrum, for a week of fancy 
coffees sounds better for an RFI toy, and unlike the one unit with 
limited spectrum at a home improvement store, there's nearly unlimited 
choices.
