 Are the three STL's on their own separate feeds ?

 Can you cause the problem by shaking a guy line ?
 Not swinging it, but a short, violent shake.

 Probably, I'd try striking each guy about 4 or 5 feet
 above the lower anchor with a 16oz hammer.
 Can you find one guy that appears more susceptible
 than the others ?

 Can you cause the problem by pulling a guy line out of
 alignment ?
 By hand ! Just grab a wire and pull it sideways.
 Slowly, but as hard as you can by hand.

 Since you said this occurred before the FM antenna was
 installed, I'm thinking something mechanical.
 Again each in turn.
