Ralph,
  Just saw the notes on you fence problem. While playing Shuttle
retransmission operator last night after midnight at WA3NAN at the
Goddard Space Flight Center, I was thumbing through a bunch of old
CQ magazines from the 70's. One of them addressed the problem which
you had described. The cure to the electric fence problem was to
place a number of ferrite beads on the wire leaving the controller
as close as possible to the point where it leaves the unit. Have
you tried that yet? 

GL in killing that awful noise!
