Thanks for the helpful comments previously. I extended the fence to my garden and got some insulated wire for the gates. That wire is now on top of the ground temporarily. Fence charger is moved and I installed a new ground rod, 6 feet in the ground at the drip line of a building. Now, the fence charger has been clicking on the phone line and a better ground was supposed to stop that. Charger still clicks on the line. I cleared green vegetation away from the old part of the line and found a place where the electric fence was touching the barbed wire. Still clicking on phone. I have a Sears device to jump off dead batteries, pump air, it has a radio and a light. It also has a 110 volt outlet which I have used to power an electric drill. I plugged the fence charger into that and the clicking stopped. Does this mean that the houshold wireing does not have a good ground? Other reasons? The fence charger is a strong one good for 50 miles of fence which I don't have so I first thought that might be an issue. BTW, this is a procedure for putting the ground rod in without using a hammer. Take a gallon of water and wet the ground. Take ground rod in both handsand state driving it into the ground, of course removing the rod with each stroke. Pour some more water in the hole you have started. Repeat until rod is deep enough. If you hit a rock, move over and try again. Worked fine in this red clay. Learned this from one of my ham radio friends. Probably old news to some of you, but I was impressed when I first tried it.
