Just standard power like at home. Not three phase. It's an FM radio station. I would assume the hot is at top and neutral below, but it's been a while since I've seen it myself. Goes from HV on the road to the tower's (power/utility) pole with a transformer/fuse.
Two robins on Saturday. Starling a few minutes ago. No nests up there - maybe that's what they are trying to do?
