I do have counterpoises: "decent" is another matter. If I had better
shack/antenna choices I wouldn't be using an endfed wire to begin with.
So, the counterpoises, ferrites, ground loop isolators, equipment/cable
arrangement are all part of the solution.

Drew,
Forget your field strength meter and 1) concentrate on providing a
decent counterpoise for your antenna so that return current flows on
that counterpoise rather than ground wiring inside your shack; and 2) on
killing Pin One Problems in the equipment in your shack. You have high
field strength in your shack because the antenna ends at your shack, and
because it is working!

I have an endfed wire antenna for the low bands so there is RF in the
shack which needs to be managed. In such a case a field strength meter
is handy in figuring out how to arrange equipment, cables, keyboards,
etc and placing ferrite toroids and snap-ons for best results. I use
an old Simpson 37
