I Pick up a Radio Station when I am playing record

When I am playing record I can hear a radio station coming in very clearly, before I put the record on the turntable. If I play the record I can hear the station at low volume. Can anyone tell what the problem could be? I am using VPI Classic turntable with Dynavector 20X Medium output cartridge (VIP version), and a Tube phonostage. I am also getting a ground loop, but when I remove the interconnect from the phono stage or the turntable the ground loop is reduced. I changed the interconnect and I discovered that the ground loop get louder as I turn the volume up. Any idea what is going on?

Give fellow A'gon member Sunnyjim a shout. I can't find his thread but think he had an issue with his Jolida JD9 phono preamp picking up radio signals whenever he played vinyl. I think the culprit might have been the tubes in the JD9 along with the cart he was using. I don't remember exactly but I think he solved the problem. He may be able to help you.

best of luck.
