Well, that sounds like an actual antennea itself. See, the antennea is attached to the mast. The mast is the two tall towers on the roof. If it was cylindrical it could be one of a couple things, an FM antennea array or an HDTV antennea. They require maintenance from time to time, but not very often thankfully.

EDIT!!!

I was looking at one of my pictures of JHC and just noticed, that may actually be a part of the mast itself. Or, there is a cylindrical antennea about a third of the way down from the top of the mast. That could be what you saw and if so, that's an HDTV antennea I believe. Can you pinpoint the part in this shot?
