if it is enameled wire wrapped through a ferrite core, you should use a layer of tape to insulate the core before winding because ferrites are somewhat conductive and enamel can be scraped off. When it shorts to the core it can affect the signal. Just a possibility.

Subject: [softrock40] something odd
I'm finding sometimes that signals are about half of what they should
be. This happens when either Softrock is used and was going on before I
starting using the filters. As you know, I have coax feeding a 9:1 unun
and the 100 foot wire attaches to that. The unun and attachment points
are right outside the window and I can easily reach outside to access
the area from inside. Now when I experience the signal loss, if I just
wiggle the unun slightly or just barely move it, normal reception is
returned. At first, I thought the wire 100 foot wire might be contacting
ground and shorting out somewhere, but that is not the case. Any ideas
welcome.
