Default Multiple radios running off one aerial (MW LW)

I've just witnessed an interesting thing.
I have quite a few radios situated down the end of the garden in various out-buildings away from the house. I enjoy "most of the time" very good reception and not much interference from quite a modest aerial of about 20 feet strung between two well established trees.
As I enjoy swapping to different radios now and again I have a "daisy chain" set up so I don't have to have a separate aerial for each radio or keep unplugging and plugging in again as I change sets.
This works really well until the other day when I switched on a radio and got really bad interference (LW).
I'd been working on another set earlier and had the chassis/speaker on the bench and was testing/listening to it with a makeshift aerial attached to my "daisy chain". This set at the time wasn't even plugged in to the mains, when I pulled out the aerial from the said radio the other radio I was listening too improved dramatically with no interference.
I'm just wondering what's going on here.
