Thanks esshup,
We dug holes, I think 3 feet deep, then put the poles in and got them as level/lined up as we could. Poured in Quikrete, filling it above the ground level, then added water. Then made final adjustments to level/lining up. It's very solid, and the telephone poles can bought from the city (maybe county, I forget) for cheap
Oh, side note -- we took advantage of the drought in Oklahoma in 2011 and did this while the water was down.
