Along time ago I had a similar problem with LPT1. There were two grounds causing a ground loop at some frequencies (actually gound loop was always there) while others were clear. I made it a "Single" ground and all was well

Thank you to all who responded. Just to clarify...I have no RFI problems running 1kw on ssb. On cw, I have no rfi problems on 160,80,40m,20 or 10m as long as I use the monobanders. The problem manifests itself on 15m and when I use the TH6DXX. Normal day to day logging is done with DX4WIN and no problems.My conclusion is that I am getting RFI through the LPT1 cable. I will get some 31 mix cores and hopefully cure this annoying probllem.



How far is the TX6 from the shack compared to other antennas?

Do you have a balun on it, and what type, and is the coax grounded at an entrance panel or anyplace?
