This indicates that some metal components are not in good electrical
contact. First, check your antenna mounts, then other
tower/mast components, be sure that any paint has been scraped
away and all mounting hardware is tight.
Any metal part in poor contact with the tower will constitute a non-linear
junction and cast a broad-spectrum signal. This includes antennas,
transmission line, mounts, ladders, and other electrical components.
It is what it is...
