>From what I've learned in dealing with this problem, electric fences can
discharge off of anything wet touching them and the ground. The click you
hear is the fence discharging it's stored electricity.....the interval's
depend on the fence- and how fast the electric fence charge rebuilds a charge
again before discharging again due to the short accross the wires-. It will
be pretty darn consistant-
If it has not rained, I'd look in the swamp (gasp) Look for a wet stick or a
gooey dead snake laying accross the wires etc......
We have tumbleweeds getting stuck in electric fences all the time out here in
Wyoming. No problem when they are dry, a major headache in snow/rain. If
you have a portable SWL receiver, take it out with you and sniff out the
signal. I've been able to find problem tumbleweeds in electric fences over a
mile away using this technique-
As for your neighbors, they are causing EMI (RFI too!) and you can look up
local ordinances against this type of noise......when living in Adams County
Colorado, my neighbor tried to use the local law on the books against any
type of generated EMI that caused interference to shut me down....a letter
from my attorney explaining FCC regulation closed the case quick-
I could try to use the same thing out here, but it's a lot easier to find the
tumble weeds then it is to find the neighbors who own the fences-
