No matter how many times I calibrate drone, every single time I fly 100 feet above power lines I still get the message. If I fly over them the message will continue to prompt every 3 seconds for 15 minutes non stop after flying over them. Every place in the US has power lines below. Does it really mess up the compass that bad? For fucks sake!!!

Given that power companies make great use of drones in their power line maintenance and monitoring operations, maybe you should contact the owning power line company. As indicated in this article, it maybe an indication of failing power line coupling. Power Line Noise
 
Why would that throw off compass at 100ft+ above the lines? I appreciate links but what I am suggesting about is the magnetic field interference on our anafi's compass magnetometer and not the radio interference. They are seperate. I am pretty sure the stuff we use being in the Ghz band is not bothered by this. People using the spectrum below 1Ghz
(ham radio) is where the problems are in the megahertz range. Not us.
