You didn't specify if the problem was specific to 1 band or common to all 
bands.  I used to have similar problem with my Argosy on 40 meters when using a 
random wire.  Licked the problem with a tuned counterpoise (1/4 wave wire 
connected to the ground lug of the antenna matching unit).  For insurance I put a 
split bead toroid on the coax between the tuner and radio.  This moved the RF 
hot spot to a point 33 feet away from the radio and prevented feedback into the 
rig.  It worked for me.
