The electrostatic lines may be wrapping in a circular fashion thru space
to
effect your meter pickup ball.  Try either enclosing the wand or the
pickup
ball in a complete (6 sided or equiv.) Faraday cage as opposed to a
simple
screen.  I will bet the effects will disappear but it would be an
interesting experiment to try as opposed to a screen.
