Well the utility company came and listened. Then worked for about 3 hours around the area trying to figure it out but couldn't. They think it's a lightning arrester. They quit looking and said they will be back after they find some kind of radio they have somewhere. I'm afraid this situation might be above their understanding. They didn't seem to relate to radio frequency principles but they were very nice and said they would get to the bottom of this.
