I'm a ham operator. Few years back, we were having a pulsing, buzzing noise coming thru a ham repeater station we had set up on a radio broadcast tower. All the guys were sure it had to do with the broadcast transmitter. After listening to the noise a few minutes, I was convinced it was a fencer. Went out near the site, and with the broadcast radio in the car set to AM, and not on a station, I drove around the area. Only took a few minutes to locate the source of the noise. Was indeed an electric fencer on a nearby farm. Guys went out and inspected it with the owner. Found a place where he'd spliced a couple pieces of barbed wire. There was the problem. Poor connection. You need to check all wires and splices for tight connections. Also need to find anywhere that fence might be arcing to ground, insulators, branches on the line, weeds, etc. If there's no current flow there's no arc. No arcing, no noise. It is very possible that something has deteriorated or corroded in the time that fence has been up.
