Thanks guys for the educated guesses and thanks Joe for the insight and advice.
Some sort of lightning arrest system was my first guess, but I thought it was odd that the mast wasn't connected to it... Which would be essential for a lightning system. I hadn't considered an old short wave or Loran setup. I'm going to disconnect it. Thanks again and enjoy the weekend.
