It is highly unlikely that the problem is caused by a radio station. I've been near a 100 kilowatt radio transmitter tower with no such problems. If you do a google search for "stray current" you will find scads of information. The utilities in dairy country like Wisconsin are usually quite familiar with the problem because cows are very sensitive to very small voltages. If you look at some of the sites you will learn that there are many, many possible causes of stray current, some due to the way the utility is operated and some due to problems on site. If the voltage on the bucket was great enough to put someone on his butt I would be leaning on the utility big time to help find a solution. I am a retired electric utility company engineer, but I never heard the term stray current until after I retired. So not all utilities are gonna be able to help you much.
