I would put a balun or choke at the feedpoint of the HexBeam for starters... sounds like
rf on the shield might be causing problems.

I looked at the HEX BEAM web site to see if anything special about the feed.

Sounds like it is a simple 50 ohm coax connection.  However, compact
antennas have intense near field, so if there is coupling back to shack thru
its gain direction you may have a weird case going.

Keep us informed of what you find swapping switches.
