Even  aluminum will react to a powerful enough, fluctuating magnetic field. 
With  a powerful magnet, you can feel this effect- get a magnet from a 
defunct  
hard drive, and slide it quickly over an aluminum plate. You will feel a  
very 
distinct resistance which increases as you move the magnet faster.  You can 
also 
feel it if you have a bulk tape eraser. Bring that aluminum  plate close to 
the 
field, and you will feel the magnetically induced  vibration in it.

Aluminum will probably react to a powerful magnetic field generated by an  
electro magnet such as those that can pick up a car body by the top. 
 
A high voltage transmission line will have a magnetic field around it,  which 
is the principal that the Will-Burt sensor works,  but would it be  enough to 
raise the mast.   I doubt it.  In fact try to raise one  of those things 
manually is a job.
