At last report, there are a number of 12V battery-operated fence chargers,
that are not tied to 120Hz timing. They are often installed with integral
AC line-operated float chargers, but they continue to operate when the
line goes down, and so they may have some remnants of 60/120Hz components
in the noise signal.

Re: [RFI] electric fence interference
Electric fences typically pop at regular intervals as the supply is timed
on
and off. This is normal. On a scope it would appear as a single spike per
120hz. If the cause is the fence wire touching something, even loosely
touching the post insulators, it will be represented by a pattern such as
llll llll. This is showing the pattern for a width of 60hz. This problem,
like most power line sparking, would be gone during rain. The rain would
short the sparking gap.
If I can assist please call.
