Antenna interference

I have a moteino connected to a spi 2.2 tft display. It seems like I am getting interference from the antenna which causes the SPI to get out of sync causing the TFT screen to go white. When I pinch the end of the antenna with my fingers the display works as normal. Any thoughts what I can do to isolate interference or correct this?

I think I solved my own issue with the EMI interference. I simply twisted all the wires. Not an ideal fix but it works. Probably would work better the tighter the twist and for the full length too. I had a few open connections that were getting EMI from the various input/output connections to the Moteino. Hope this helps someone else.
