Bill:

      I think the phenomenon is called aolean vibration.  That might help you locate some possible cures on the Internet to suggest the utility for implementation.  Same physical parameters (line tension, cross-section area, weight, wind speed) that could cause galloping conductors.  

     Good luck.
