Buy yourself a good line isolator/choke/balun. In the past, I have had that to happen. All the power was not going out the antenna, and the coax was radiating too.

Bought a Palomar Engineers Maxi-Choker 3K that fixed the problem. It was installed about 8.5 feet down below an Imax antenna. Receive noise level went down too. I did not buy the one with the ground lug. I did have to re-tune the antenna after the choke was installed.
