An arching transformer is just a spark gap transmitter with a super long
antenna attached. Much lesser setups were used decades ago and provided
global communications.

That appears to be exactly what was happening. I assumed that
conducted RFI is pretty well snubbed by whatever distribution

In a staight line, this

Remember that power lines RADIATE. Although I have no scientific
evidence to back it up, I suspect that most noise we hear from power
lines is the result of radiation of the noise current -- that is, the
power wiring near the noise source acts as a transmitting antenna.
