Yup, transmission lines... which I mentioned. But there has to be at least one power cable, as well, for the required FAA tower lighting.

The welding can heat up and catch the coax cabling inside the pole on fire. It has a plastic insulation that will burn. Some guys lubricate the cables when pulling them through the tower, and if they use the wrong lubricant, that can contribute to the fire. It's not power cables, it's coax from the antennas up top to the ground equipment in the shelter.

Ummm, it didn't look like metal to me,, it looked like a regular telephone pole.
