  Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone encountered this
problem with this type of loop antenna? What was the cause
and how was it fixed? Can it be my ground (4 foot rod, 600
ohm terminating resistance, about 3-4" topsoil then clay)?

Hi Steve,

You can try a ground, but if everything is switching it most
likely is you have too many other conductors too close to
the antennas. That system just might not ever work in your
environment.
