It is possible that the cable in question is for the homeowner's
satellite dish. Beat up shacks always have satellite dishes. ;)

I'm pretty sure I know what the wires in the photo are.

phone line.......bare wire is the "strain relief" / "tension tie"
taking the "pole to house load.
The loop is the telephone conductor coming off the pole to house line.

I might still have one ot these in my garage from when my land line
connection (very old) went away.....unless I tossed in a recent clean
up.

cheers
Bob
