CB Bleedover

So I decided to do away with nasty home built antanna solutions for my base station and went with a 30' pole I was given because it had a shedding problem with the fiberglass. (until I clear coated it)



It has come with a major downside. While the base station is limited to 3W transmitting from the radio results on whatever you say blaring out of every FM radio in the house, plus the stereo upstairs breaks science completely and emits whatever I say, even when off.

I'm just about positive the base of the antenna and the coax to the basement are both properly grounded and there's no resistance or shorting issues within the cabling. CB is also so far away on the frequency spectrum to FM that even though the main antenna for the house is a few feet away the transmission shouldn't be doing this. The tuning rings on the antenna were likewise also adjusted and set during installation.

What am I doing wrong here?
