I should have specified that the internet source was is not DSL, but coax. The 
LAN cables are unshielded Cat 6, and there are lot of them. Putting 2 inch 
cores on each of them is impracticable, so I'm looking for a modem with less 
inherent susceptibility. Problems occur only when I'm transmitting on 160. 

It may be the easiest solution is to disconnect all the LAN cables during 
contests, and just use WiFi.

73,
