If you have a poor ground at the charger the high voltage will try to return to the power co ground rod.The fuses wont stand much of this.Older chargers had a spark gap lightning arrestor that will let the returning hi voltage jump to the power co ground.Since you have proved a better ground stops the click, thats what you have to do.The click on the phone line will interfere with computer dial up.Copper clad rods used to sell for 10.00 when I stocked them.Galvanized rods could be used instead.Poor ground rods cause a lot of trouble in fence chargers.Do not try to run a charger on GFIs and dont use a charger that says do not use outdoors where the rain can get at it.Water will get in thru the fuse holders ,drip on the circuit board and destroy it.I find plenty of 30 amp fuses in chargers, that burns up transformers.Use 1 amp only.Bit of wire and steel make poor fuses.Old buggy axles and rebar and assorted rusty iron and steel used for grounds wont work..
