Two (hemi)spherical electrodes with water in between would form a crude electrolytic capacitor which, in combination with attached wiring, would form a tank circuit. The resonant frequency of such a tank circuit would likely lie in the RF frequency band. Thus any anomalous energy that fed into the tank circuit could produce RF emissions from the wiring.
